Instructions

  • Lightly sieve the oats to get rid of small particles in oats.
  • In a heavy bottom pan or a wok dry roast the oats on medium for 8-10 minutes.

Notes

  • 1 Cup = 235 ml, 1 tablespoon = 15 ml, 1 teaspoon = 5 ml
  • Any combination of nuts and seeds can be used
  • Dry coconut is preferable instead of fresh. I did not had any so used fresh which I shallow fried nicely.
  • Adjust the seasoning as per taste.
