Recipe Notes

• I like to dry roast the oats but you can completely skip this step if needed.
• Add any veggies of your choice like grated carrots.
• Do not skip gram flour in this recipe. It not only binds all the ingredients but also gives this oats chilla a very moist texture.
• If you are using rolled oats then grind them in a mixer grinder to form a coarse powder before using.
