#myhealthykitchen - A protein rich and a comforting porridge with the goodness of lentils, oats, tomatoes and prawns is the best one can have for a light, satisfying meal. It is a diabetic friendly recipe that can be enjoyed guilt free. I made it into a curried style and my experiment in making this amazing porridge was a super heat at my place.

Just a dash of lime is what all you need in this yummy porridge to tickle your taste buds. Here I have used tuvar dal (pigeon pea lentil) but you can opt for any lentil of your choice. For a veg. version, prawns can be substituted with mushrooms or paneer. #goldenapron
