Saute the ingredients till they turn red. After this add the chopped carrot (gajar), green peas (hari matar ka dana) and a little salt to the kadhai. Stir and cover the kadhai with a lid to allow the vegetables to cook. Remove the lid after 3-4 minutes and check if the vegetables are cooked and have become soft. Cook the vegetables on low flame.
3. Now add the oats and mix well with the vegetables. Then add 2 cups water and a little more salt (a little more salt is required to balance the taste because the oats swell upon adding water and become double in quantity).
4. When the water is absorbed completely and the oats get doubled in quantity, turn off the flame. The oats upma is now ready. Serve the oats upma hot in a beautiful dish.
