      I have tried few dishes with Oats but never thought we can make a Chaat with oats. When i went to book shop in Chennai, during my trip last time, kids were totally busy in filling the basket. I am not an avid reader, and i just sat in a place with a cookery book in hand and started just going through the book. I was so tired after roaming around in the mall for few hours. So without must interest just to spend time i was going the book. Suddenly this name Oats chaat caught my eyes and it sounded very new and interesting to me. So i just noted the name of the recipe in my mobile notepad. Finally tried this Oats chaat yesterday and it was very nice  and quite filling too. I took this for lunch and i stayed energetic till 5 pm. Stay tuned for more interesting Oats recipes coming up next week.
