Caramelized Oats Porridge

While pregnant, my tiredness levels were very high especially in the evenings. Sometimes as a evening snack I used to munch on the dry fruits...I think they and curd kept me alive...I used to ponder what snack to make which is easy and less spicy (Rohan did not allow me to have any spice the whole 9 months :()....

I had some oats and was bored of the regular oats porridge. Here is what I made that day!



Caramelized Oats Porridge

Ingredients

• Oats, 1/2 cup
• Demerera Sugar (Brown one), 3 tablespoons
• Milk, 1 cup
• Roasted almonds, 5-6
• Water, 2 teaspoon
  
  

Method

1. In a pan, add water.
2. When the water boils, add the sugar. Mix well and when the mixture turns a bit syrupy.
3. Add the oats. Mix well. The oats should get well coated with the sugar syrup or caramelizes.
4. Now add the roasted almonds. Let this get coated with the sugar syrup.
5. Pour the milk and let the mixture cook for 10 minutes or until the oats are mashed.
6. Transfer in a bowl and let it cool for 10 minutes.

My porridge was a bit milky...but loved the taste...something different from the regular stuff!
