VEG STEW WITH OATS

A very healthy and nutritious dish with a combination of vegetables like carrot, potato and spinach.In addition we also have green gram for protiens and all of us know the health benifits of oats. This stew can even be relished without any roti or bread. I sometimes take a bowl full for lunch and it is quite filling.

3. Now tip in the onion, tomato, chilli and all the vegetables and the soaked green gram.
