How to make Steel Cut Oats Porridge

  • Step 1 Roast the oats

Add the steel cut oats to it and gently roast for just a few minutes. Crush the green cardamom and add it to the oats while they are being roasted.

  • Step 2 Pressure cook the oats

    Steel cut oats take more time to cook than rolled oats, that’s why we need to pressure cook them. Add the roasted oats to a pressure cooker and add 2 cups of water to it. Cook on a medium flame for 20 minutes.

  • Step 3 Add milk and jaggery

    Now open the lid of the cooker and place it on medium heat. Add 2 cups of milk, mix well and let it come to a boil. Now add powdered jaggery as per your taste and give a nice mix. Cook for 1-2 minutes more and turn off the flame.

  • Step 4 Ready to be served

    Pour the porridge in a bowl, garnish with chopped banana slices and serve.

Tips

  1. You can add a handful of dry fruits to make the porridge tastier and rich.
  2. Top it off with fruits of your choice like apples, strawberries etc.
  3. You can use a sweetener of your choice, however, jaggery tastes the best
