Ingredients
Oats – 1 cup

Oil – 2 teaspoons
Mustard – 1/2 teaspoon

Gently stir using a flat spoon.
Allow to cook in low heat for five to ten minutes.
You can also check one ball with a spoon whether it is cooked well in the middle also.
Remove from stove and take out all the balls from the water. - Put a kadai on the stove and add oil. When it is hot, add mustard seeds. When it pops up add bengal gram dhal and fry till it turns light brown.
- Then add chopped onion and curry leaves and fry for a while.
- Then add the cooked balls and sprinkle the pepper powder and Idli Milagai Podi and mix well.
- Remove from stove and serve as evening snack.
