Is that no need to soak green gram and oats for evenn a few mins?
Hi Subha,
No need to soak. Oats and green gram cook fast. However, if you want to soak it for sometime, there is no harm.

Hi Kamala,
Love your recipe.
It’s easy to cook, had a traditional touch, stomach filling and overall a healthy one.
I have got a big bag of oats which is untouched for last 2 months (as got bored with the plain oats flavor) and your recipe is the good fit indulging both healthy components and Traditional approach.
Thanks,
Aditya
