About:
One always looks for a healthy breakfast recipes and sometimes for snacks…This recipe is inspired from Indian bhelpuri chaats. I have customised with an addition of fresh orange juice, so you get all tangy and savoury taste in this recipe.
Health Benefits:
Oats can help keep your body lean and strong because it is full of fiber that keeps your stomachs fuller longer. Also helps to lower ones Cholesterol and blood sugar levels. A US research lab found that Drinking orange juice along with oats meal cleansed arteries and prevents heart attacks with twice efficiency than consuming just bowl of oats.
Serves: 2
Cooking time: 7-10 minutes
Total time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- Rolled oats-1cup
- Onion finely chopped – 1/4 cup
- Capsicum chopped -1/4 cup
- Cucumber finely chopped -1/4cup
- Chopped Cherry Tomatoes – 1/4 cup

- Add the dry ingredients like Chilli powder, Jeera powder, Chat masala, Salt and mix well
- Turn off flame stir in orange juice. Cover let it sit for 4 – 5 minutes so orange gets obsorbed

Note:

- Adding orange juice earlier will take away the taste of oranges in the dish

I didn’t know that about orange juice. I wonder if it is true with any other fruit juice. At any rate, it looks like a delicious breakfast.
