Oats pongal is Sendhil’s most favourite oats recipes.I have been making this for long time but somehow I din’t post here. He says this is the best among all the oats recipes. I make this at least once in a week. Sometimes I pack this pongal for his breakfast when he leaves early from home. It stays soft for hours.
As I make in pressure cooker, I would say this is the easiest and healthy one pot breakfast recipe. But make sure u add lesser salt than the usual quantity because oats needs lesser salt than rice, adding more makes the dish salty.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup – 240ml
- Quick Oats – 1 cup ( I have used Horlicks/ Kelloggs oats)
- Moong dal – 1/3 cup
- Turmeric powder – 1/4 tsp
- Salt – As needed
- Water – 2.5 – 3 cups
To temper
- Oil / ghee – 2 tsp
- Pepper corns – 1 tsp
- Jeera / Cumin seeds – 1.5 tsp
- Curry leaves – 1 sprig
- Ginger – 1 inch piece (chop finely)
- Green chilli – 1 no (slit)
- Hing- 2 pinches
Ghee – 1 tsp ( to add in the end)

HOW TO MAKE OATS PONGAL – METHOD
- In a pressure cooker base, heat 2 tsp of oil or ghee and add the pepper corns. After it starts to splutter, add jeera, green chillies, ginger & curry leaves. Saute everything for a second.
- Then add the moong dal and roast it for a minute.Keep the flame low to avoid burning of spices & dal.
- Add 2.5 –3 cups of water, Hing, turmeric powder & salt. After it starts to boil, add the oats. Mix well and close the cooker with the lid. Cook it for 1 whistle in low flame.
- Switch off the flame, Open the cooker after the steam is released. U’ll see a layer of water on top of pongal.
- Again switch on the flame & mix the pongal well till all the water is absorbed. Add a tsp of ghee and switch off the flame.
Serve hot !!

NOTE
- U can make pongal in kadai too but u have to pressure cook the dal separately and add to the oats. I feel the above method easy for me to make everything in pressure cooker.
- Please adjust the water quantity as per the consistency you need. I always add 1:3 oats & water ratio as my husband likes it mushy and wet.
- Addition of turmeric powder is optional. I usually add it to differentiate between rice & oats pongal 🙂
