Recipe Notes

I used the potato and cauliflower to add an Indian Khichdi taste to this. You can use any vegetables you like.
You could also steam cook the veggies before you saute them.
I usually soak the oats in water and leave it in the fridge. It cooks faster and on some days, i just put it in a smoothie without cooking.
