#Rainbowweek2 - Oatmeal is a very versatile cereal and can be had in many forms. One of them is as an Indian style upma / porridge. The addition of sprouts, shredded chicken, onion, ginger and other spices makes it very yummy and healthy. I flavoured it with some sambar powder. You can go ahead and add any veggies of your choice. It is a diabetic friendly cereal and also laden with fiber, so a good breakfast option.
