#milk - Oats are nutritious, wholesome and low in cholesterol. It contains fiber and is rich in antioxidants. Hence it is advisable to include it in our daily diet. Besides having it for breakfast, they can be turned into yummy desserts.
So give a twist to your usual kheer by trying it out with oats and flavour it with some gulkand (rose petals jam). It will not only give a fragrant rose flavour, but it also tastes delicious when had as it is, as an after meal dessert or with poori or parathas.
