Overnight Savory oats recipe

Overnight Savory Oats recipes using quick cook oats, made in South Indian style curd rice. I have been eating Overnight Oats for the past few days. I am trying some combo of fruits everyday, but still after few days i craved for some salt version in the morning. So i tried the curd rice version and i shared that in Jeyashri's kitchen Instagram story too. It tasted so yum and i topped my Overnight oats with raw mango pickle and some pomegranates too. If you want to try a different version of oats do give it a try and i am sure you will love it. My next trial is with rasam and a cold rasam overnight oats😉. Also you can top it with vatha kuzhambu or some roasted crushed mor milagai too. Instead of pomegrantes you can add chopped grapes too.
Please ignore my the poor pictures. It was continuously raining and i could manage to click only such pictures.

We are not a big fan of idiyappam or sevai but i wanted to try my hands on making this. Amma makes different varieties of sevai such as Lemon sevai, Thenga sevai, ulundu sevai, Thayir sevai and Vella sevai. When ever i wanted to make sevai, i use the instant ones available in the market.
