#cookingwithoats - This is a diabetic friendly recipe, which I prepared the same way as I cook Bengali Khichdi. The only difference is that I have replaced rice with oats. Oats is nutritious, low in cholesterol and wholesome. It contains fiber and is rich in antioxidants.

This healthy one-pot wonder can be relished with some begun bhaja (eggplant fry), fried red chilies, any side dish and lime wedges for a soul satisfying meal.
