Who says healthy recipes aren’t tasty. Oats are in true sense a yes- yes for an unhealthy heart and people often struggle to find a tasty yet healthy recipe with it. Oats are bland in taste but when they are mixed with other ingredients of your choice , they make a perfect meal for anyone who is craving for tasty, yet healthy recipe. The recipe of oats is never boring and monotonous as it can be mixed with any other ingredient. Oats not only helps to reduce cholesterol levels but also helps the body to maintain the right balance of vitamins and minerals.

Masala oats khichdi can be prepared with any ingredient of your choice, but I have added palak as it low in cholesterol and an excellent source of iron. I have also added tomatoes, onions, coriander stems and crumbled panner to give it a nice texture.
Spinach and oats khichdi should be served hot and it can be accompanied with curd . I personally prefers it with a hot cup of tea during my breakfast time.
