I love oats and spice mixes.Many a times I have combined these two. Today I have added another healthy ingredient – Garlic.So here is a flavorful spice mix with garlic, letils and oats that is awesome with steamed rice.
I used:
Quick cooking oats – 1/4 cup
Toor dhal-1 cup
Moong dhal-1/4 cup
Pepper corns-1 teaspoon
Asafoetida powder – a pinch
Red chillies-4 [adjust to taste]
Garlic powder – 1 tablespoon
Salt to taste
- Dry roast oats for a few minutes on low flame till light brown.Keep aside.
- Dry roast the other ingredients except salt and garlic powder till golden brown in color. Take care as the pepper corns might splutter.
- Cool and grind to a fine powder.
- Spread it out on a plate for sometime if it gets heated during grinding process.
- Add salt,garlic powder, mix well and store in an airtight container.
To serve:
Drizzle a little sesame oil over piping hot rice,add a few teaspoons of this spice mix. Mix well and enjoy….
Note:
You can increase / decrease the amount of garlic powder to suit your taste.
