Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)

Spices

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger (optional)
  • Pinch of saffron strands (optional)

Add-Ins

  • 1 tablespoon chopped nuts (almonds, cashews, or pistachios)
  • 1/4 cup fresh or dried fruit (mango, berries, or raisins)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or jaggery (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl or jar, add oats, yogurt, milk, ground cardamom, cinnamon, and ground ginger if using. Stir well to incorporate all ingredients evenly.
  2. Add Flavor Enhancers: Gently mix in saffron strands if using, nuts, fresh or dried fruit, and honey or jaggery to sweeten according to your taste.
  3. Chill Overnight: Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 6 to 8 hours or overnight, allowing the oats to soften and flavors to meld.
  4. Serve Cold: In the morning, give the oats a good stir and enjoy chilled. Optionally, garnish with extra nuts or fruit before serving.

Notes

  • Use rolled oats for the best texture; instant oats can become too mushy.
  • Experiment with different Indian spices like nutmeg or cloves for unique flavors.
  • For a vegan version, substitute yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt and use plant-based milk.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less honey or jaggery as preferred.
  • Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
