Oats Upma is a popular Indian breakfast preparation that combines simplicity with authentic flavor. This healthy, vegetarian morning meal is perfect for busy families and supports balanced nutrition.
Heat 0.5 tbsp of oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Add oats and dry roast for 3–5 minutes, stirring continuously until they emit a nutty aroma and turn slightly golden. Remove and set aside.
Add the remaining oil to the hot skillet. Toss in mustard seeds and let them splutter. Immediately add urad dal and cashew nuts; sauté on medium heat until the dal turns light golden.
Add curry leaves, chopped green chili, and grated ginger. Sauté for 30 seconds for the flavors to bloom.
Add chopped onion, diced carrots, and green peas. Sauté on medium-high heat for 3–4 minutes, until the vegetables slightly soften but retain a bite.
Pour in water and salt. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low. Slowly stir in the roasted oats, mixing well to prevent lumps.
Cover the pan and cook on low heat for 5–7 minutes, checking after 5 minutes to ensure the oats are tender but not mushy. Stir in lemon juice. Turn off the heat, fluff gently, and let sit covered for 2 minutes before serving.
