This recipe is a variation of the traditional curd rice we make at home using homemade curd recipe. Any kind of oats just work well in this recipe. But I suggest using rolled oats and avoid instant or quick cook oats as they are more processed and the glycemic index is high. There are 2 ways of making this recipe which I have shared below.

Curd oats recipe – Method 1

  1. Add instant or rolled oats to a large bowl and add hot water just enough to moisten them. Set aside to cool completely. Since rolled oats are already steamed during processing, they can also be consumed without cooking. Add yogurt to the cooled oats. Season as mentioned below.

Method 2 – How to make curd oats

  1. Add oats to a pot along with water. You can also dry roast the oats first.
  2. Cook until done.
  3. Cool it completely.
  4. Add beaten curd, grated carrots, cucumber, raw onion (optional), chopped coriander leaves and salt. Raw onion is said to bring down the body heat, so you may consider adding it here during summer. Mix them up well.
  5. You can skip the tempering, but it adds mild aroma. Heat oil in a pan,Allow mustard and cumin to crackle. Saute until the urad dal turns slightly golden.
  6. Add ginger, curry leaves and green chilies. When you begin to smell the ginger food, switch off the stove and add hing.
  7. Once cooled pour the tempering to the curd oats. If needed add more curd and adjust salt. It can be eaten on its own. You can also enjoy this with pickle, papad or podi. You can also garnish with pomegranate seeds.
