Healthy Recipe With Oatmeal Procedure
oatmeal recipe

  1. To begin with we need to make clarified butter from cream. Typically we collect cream from skimmed milk after boiling in a container for a week and then extract ghee or clarified butter from it.
  2. Take a big vessel. Grease it with oil and then pour the cream into it. Cook on a low flame while stirring intermittently. It will take time & effort and you have got to be patient. Nevertheless, it's well worth the efforts. When you get the thin layer of oil separating from the solids, sieve it and keep aside.
  3. Then add water to the solids and heat again on a slow flame. Again, you will separate oil from solids. Do this 2-3 times or if you are okay with little amount of clarified butter in the recipe, you may stop here and use these solids for pedas.
  4. Ideally I try to add more and more water to the ghee leftover to remove most of its ghee content. I add water to the leftover solids and churn out little ghee and then again add more water when the milk solids are dry. I follow this process 3-4 times.LOL
  5. When you are left with this ghee leftover, mix the same with oats and run in a food processor. I used my grinder.
  6. Add sugar or gur and green cardamom and run the grinder again.
  7. Take out in a bowl and make cute little balls. If you add less amount of oat powder or do not add oats to this, you will get perfect pedas, just like those that you savor in Mathura :) I have made pedas with paneer. Check here.
  8. Enjoy healthy oats pedas.

These are some of the questions that have been asked every now and then. So in this video from the Odia cuisine, I present to you Odisha special Pakhala - the ancient Odia tradition of fermenting rice. Now coming back to making Pakhala at home. I dedicate this video to my mother-in-law, who has taught me some simple ways to ferment rice with and without curd.  The idea is to cook rice in water, primarily you will need to boil rice in a lot of water. Drain off excess water and let the rice come to room temperature. Then mix it with curd, salt, and water and store in an earthen clay pot. Since we want to ferment rice, the idea is to leave it overnight at room temperature - ideally in a cool location, which is not too hot.  By next morning, the rice should have fermented - teeming with colonies of healthy bacteria. If you use brown rice...
