        I use sesame oil for vatral kuzhambu,puliyogare,lemon rice and these kind of tangy dishes. Oats normally have a dry texture,I prefer to eat only in form of poridge or just make it greasy with sesame oil like this. Sesame oil has so much of health benefits,it has tendency to increase the good cholesterol,so which will help to keep the cholesterol in control. It is also rich in anti-oxidants. So don’t be afraid to use this in cooking. You can use generously…



Notes:
  • You can increase the water amount and make the consistency of your preference,I like mine to be like this,so used less water.
  • Also change the water quantity if its not quick cook oats..
  • Make it only when you are going to eat,if it gets cooled down,it wont taste that good, you cannot blame me for the taste Winking smile
