Sambhar Oats Vs Masala Oats

A lot of Keralites are now having Oats as their breakfast cereal. More than a dozen brands including the Multinational giants like Quaker are cracking the huge Malayali market. Mallus eat Oats just to beat or control lifestyle diseases and not for health or fondness of the foreign grain. They eat it somehow and mostly with some type of sweetners or make Dosa, Idli etc. But the Market researchers found out that generally people like spicy and salty taste for the porridge. Thus the Masala Oats was introduced. But somehow it did not stick well with the plate. Price was high and it was suspected to have more additives for taste than the regular Oats.
Here I made Oats (Quaker) by adding some Sambhar powder (Kitchen Treasures) chopped Onion, Tomato, Green Chillies and salt to taste. It was just tasty enough to make it palatable from the regular stuff.
