This has been quite an ‘Oaty’ month in my house. I could lay my hands on some Quick cooking oats and Oat Bran and I have tried to utilize their goodness to the fullest. I have been adding Oats to manydishes including some Bhel! I wish we would get some more varieties of Oats here- old fashioned, steel cut etc. The search is on….
