The recipe looks tasty, Jaanu. Smile

I wish I could say I'll try it, but quite honestly, I'm lazy to use oats in any savory dish. :bigsmile: And that's only because I'm used to eating oats as a cereal cooked in the microwave (I later add in some brown sugar and toasted almonds with a tablespoon of granola for crunch). This is what we mostly eat during weekdays. Smile

I am going to try the panneer tikki and the sweet potato curry one of these days. They look so delicious and tempting. Thanks so much for a steady stream of your delicacies. Your family is quite lucky to have such a wonderful cook who treats them to a variety of dishes. Lucky dad! Biggrin :party:
