Oats Upma

There is a well known saying that a healthy and fulfilling breakfast paves the way for energetic day with complete vigor.And that is the reason why now a days I make oats upma frequently these days. The USP of this meal is that it can be prepared within a very short period( 15 minutes at max). Today, I woke up a bit late , realized that it is still Friday and my husband and son would be off to their respective venues( Office and School) and by Lo and Behold ! After 15 minutes my wholesome breakfast is ready. Sometimes you can not plan things and would have to improvise at the spot and take decision. Today was one of such days.


Ingredients:
100 gms Oats
1 finely chopped Onion
1 chopped Tomato
1/4 cup Sprouted moong beans
1/2 tsp grated Ginger
