16) freshly grated coconut (optional)


Method:

Heat oil in a thick bottom pan. Add Mustard and cumin seeds and let it sizzle. add curry leaves and cut chilies and fry for a minute or so. Add urad daal and fry till its golden brown. Now add cut onion and fry it till it becomes translucent. Add green peas and fry for few more minutes. Now add ghee to this tempering. Add water and salt, lemon juice, cilantro, grated coconut. Cover with a lid and let it boil. Lower the gas flame when water starts boiling. Now add oat bran and stir constantly to avoid forming lumps. Mix it well and cover with the lid and let it cook for 5 minutes. Once again mix it with spoon and serve with fresh cilantro and coconut.

Tips - Oat Bran has more fiber and protein so it is more healthier option than the normal Upama. You can add Chana Daal to the tempering if you like that crunch.
