This is a nice diet recipe. I have started using oats recently. But I don't like the porridge usually prepared with oats. After reading so many blogs, I decided to prepare upma with oats. On the first day I used 1 1/2 cup water for 1 cup oats and the upma was mushy. So the next day I reduced the amount of water. I used equal quantities of water and oats and the upma was perfect. Even my hubby liked it. Sending this to CWF- Oats hosted by Priya and started by Kiran
