oats bhel recipe is a healthy oats bhel. Made from oats, poha (beaten rice), onions, tomatoes, chutney, peanuts, anar and masala, oats and poha bhel is a perfect evening snack to have.

Who does not like to munch on bhel, the all-time favourite Indian roadside snack? The spectra of flavours and textures packed into a bowlful of bhel is truly mind-boggling and makes it a hot favourite with young and old alike.

We recreate the same wonderful experience in a healthier way, for kids to enjoy oats bhel as an after-school treat. Oats and poha are roasted till crisp and perked up with crunchy peanuts, tongue-tickling chutneys and juicy veggies in oats bhel.

Do not forget to add a dash of lemon juice as it is instrumental in boosting the flavours of the oats bhel.

You can also treat your kids to other healthy snacks like the Moong Sprouts Dosa and Multigrain Palak Paneer Roti.

Method

1. Take the oats in a broad non-stick pan. We have used quick rolling oats for this recipe. Apart from being gluten-free, they are rich in fibre and anti-oxidants & help in weight loss. To know more about the health benefits of oats check our glossary.
2. Add poha in the same pan.
3. Dry roast on a medium flame for 5 minutes. They will turn light brown in colour and crunchy in texture. Remove and keep aside.
4. Heat the oil in the same broad non-stick pan, add the peanuts.
5. Sauté on a medium flame for 1 to 2 minutes. You can also add toasted nuts and seeds to make this healthy snack. Masala peanuts and masala chana dal are usually used to give a nice bite to the bhel but they are not healthy.
6. Add the oats-poha mixture.
7. Add the turmeric powder.
8. Add salt.
9. Sauté on a medium flame for 3 minutes.
10. Transfer the mixture into a deep bowl. Keep aside to cool completely. You can toss this and store in an air-tight container. Just before serving , add all the veggies and chutney & your healthy oats bhel is ready in no time.
11. Add the finely chopped onions.
12. Furthermore, add the finely chopped tomatoes. If raw mangoes are available then add some after chopping them finely.
13. Add the finely chopped coriander. You can also toss in some mixed sprouts or boiled chana to increase the health quotient of the oats bhel.
14. Add chaat masala and lemon juice. They give a refreshing, tangy flavour to the oats bhel.
15. Add the sweet chutney.
16. Finally, add pomegranate. The pleasant sweet taste enhances the overall flavours of the healthy oats bhel.
17. Mix everything well with the help of two spoons.
18. Serve immediately or else it will turn soggy. Oats bhel chaat is a better option to our traditional chaat recipes like sukha bhel. It is also a healthy filling snack variant for people looking for recipes to lose weight.

I love bhel in any form and when made with such healthy ingredients it is a real treat. I added pomegranate whereby it''s sweet taste really blended well with other flavors. This snack can be equally enjoyed by adults also.
