Masala oats pongal is a healthier take on the traditional rice and lentil dish, where the fibre-rich oats replace the carb-rich rice. Since both oats and Pongal are meant to be mushy in texture, this is a clever swap that cuts down on the prep (oats don’t need to be rinsed or washed like rice) but improves the nutrition. And since the dish is tempered with the same spices, masala oats pongal retains the familiar taste and texture.
