Looks yummy n healthy.. can quaker oats be used for this upma ?
Sabu – Yes, you can use quaker oats
Do you need to grind the oats before using?
Lovely recipe
Kajal -No, you don't need to powder it. Just roast oats.
hi..padhu… ur dishes very delicious…… & its very use full 2 me……….
Hi padhu, i have tried upma with oats many times but not able to get that typical upma consistency…. most of the times its getting soggy or sometimes too much hard. can u help me out……
It is because you are adding too much water or very less water. That is the reason I have added a little rava to this oats upma. Try this way. Just sprinkle water after adding oats. If you find it hard, sprinkle more water and cook covered. Oats need very less water to get cooked.
Anu, thanks for the yummy and healthy oats upma.
Looks yummy:) In the version that I prepared, I had also used tomato, corn kernels and a dash of lime juice.
Is this with traditional rolled oats or 2 min quick oats pls??
It is made with quick cooking oats.
Yummy!!! Such a healthy n good to eat,fast to cook recipe. Thanks a ton Padhu. Even my kids who never like to eat oats, liked this.
The upma turned out simply delicious! Thanks a lot ma'am for this wonderful recipe. 🙂
I would love to follow your other recipes as well!
All your recipes are yummy..Here however I didn't really understand why should we add Rava… We can as well make it a Rava upma Can't we just add oats only
If you make upma with just oats, it will be a bit sticky, so adding a little rava gives texture and also taste to the dish.
Hi Padhu,
I really love all your recipes and the way you illustrate them! I've gluten allergy and I'm wondering if it is possible to make this upma without the rava (or use an alternate to rava) and still get a good consistency (I see that you have mentioned about getting sticky texture without the rava). Also would be great if you could include gluten-free recipes to your blog.
Thank you,
Deepika
Thank you so much for liking my recipes. Instead of rava, you can use millet rava or quinoa. After it is cooked, you can add oats and cook further until soft.
I totally loved this version of oats upma, adding rava helps! 🙂
Tried it…and yummy…
Tried it…and its yummy…
I am a big fan of this and so many other recipes of yours, dear Padhu
