I like all vegetarian items. Like natural healthy items very much. Thats why I like oats too.
waiting for more oats recipes.

( Nov anna, Dev.. innaikku illaattiyum ennaikkavadhu neenga oats pakkam vandhuthan aaganum )

BTW.. innaikku try senja Oats uppuma ( appadinnu vachukkalaam )

k n Madhu anna, I prefer cholam,kambu,thinai,samai, ragi,cracked wheat n stuffs for health... oats IMO is an over-marketed health food... I don't mean to say it's not healthy...it's healthy...no doubt abt it... but we do have many other healthy stuffs(they call it siru dhaniyam) that our ancestors had taken for ages... all tasty and nutrient rich stuffs...and above all they have a better texture than oats... adhai ellam vittitu ippo oats pinnadi ooditu irukkom... ellathukkum kaaranam marketing thaan...

NOV anneh, you better start liking oats.
I really think you should take oats for breakfast.

I will tell you a secret K.
My mum loves eating... maybe I inherited all these from her..
anyway, she loves to eat and is on the larger side... we used to control her food once she had a heart attack about 15 years ago.
but food was her fav and she will be joyful with nice food.
we always had to caution her to eat less....

now, she hardly eats and has lost her appetite almost 100%.
now when she eats, we are happy and always encourage her to eat more.
but she just doesnt want to eat much any more

oh yeah... you can grind and drink mullengi juice

another method is to make thulasi juice, micx it with honey and drink one spoon every morning

all these will have no side effects.
