Oats Bhel, Healthy Snack for Kids recipe with step by step photos
  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.

I always thought bhel can be made only with mumra but I was wrong when I cam across this recipe, the oats used along with little poha made an exciting snack recipe that was so easy, chatpatta that kids and adults all loved it.
