Ingredients:
1 cup rolled oats
1 teaspoon olive oil or ghee
4-5 garlic cloves (finely chopped)
1 small onion (finely chopped)
1 tomato (finely chopped)
1 green chili (optional)
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
Salt to taste
1 cup water (or as required)
1-2 eggs
Fresh coriander for garnish
Lemon wedges for serving


Instructions:
Warm the Oil: Base Flavor In a nonstick pan, start by heating up some olive oil or ghee. To release their aroma, add the cumin seeds and let them crackle.


Sauté Garlic & Onions
To Develop Flavor When the onions and garlic are nicely diced, add them and sauté until golden brown. The addition of garlic gives the spices a deep, savory flavor that goes well with them.


Add Tomatoes & Spices
Add the red chili powder, garam masala, turmeric powder, and diced tomatoes. Simmer until the tomatoes get tender and the spices are well distributed, forming a flavorful masala base.


Cook the Oats
Blend the oats thoroughly with the masala. Pour in water and heat for about 5 minutes until the oats are tender and cooked through.


Fry the Egg
Fry the egg to your desired doneness (over easy or sunny side up) in a another pan. Your oats get a protein-rich garnish from the egg.


Assemble & Garnish
All Set to Serve Place the fried egg on top of the masala garlic oats and serve in a bowl. For a zesty touch, garnish with fresh coriander and a splash of lemon juice.
