Oats Upma

1 serving = 1 yellow, 1/2 green, 1 tsp

INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup of dry, old-fashioned oats (cooks up to 1 yellow container)
1/4 green container of chopped onions
1/4 green container of chopped vegetables (carrots, green beans)
1 small green chili pepper, slit
1/8 tsp chopped ginger
1/8 tsp mustard seeds
1/8 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp garam masala
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp olive oil
pinch turmeric
pinch hing (asafoetida)
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 tsp lemon juice
Cilantro for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS
1.  Heat the oil in a pan.  Once the oil is hot, add the ginger, cumin, garam masala, mustard seeds and hing and heat until spices are fragrant.

2.  Add the green chili, onions, garlic and vegetables.  Cover and cook until they are soft.

3.  Add the old fashioned oats and 1/4 cup water and the salt.  Mix everything well, cover and cook for about 2-3 minutes.

4.  Remove from heat and add lemon juice.  Garnish with cilantro and enjoy!

How to eat this:  It tastes great alone or with a side of yogurt for 1 red container!  I also like to mix in tomatoes for an extra tartness, which completes my green container.
