Protein Rich Savoury Oats / Homemade Masala Oats

A twist in our regular Masala oats or Savory oats, this dish is creamy, spicy and extremely healthy.



I recently turned Vegan (Have I already told you that in my previous posts?!) and It has made my lie a little more challenging because I have to make 3 different kind of dishes for all three meals almost every day since my little princess has her own demands and I haven't managed to turned my DH into a Vegan yet.



Anyway, I was a hardcore fan of Eggs in Masala oats where I would break 2-3 eggs into the boiling oats + veggies + masalas mixture. I admit that I do miss that sometimes but I have discovered a few things that replace that taste. This Masala oats with Tofu is one of those dishes that is one of my absolute favorites.

Add oats and Tofu now, mix well so that there are no lumps. Cover and cook in simmer for at least 5 minutes before removing from flame.
