Before marriage I never tasted Oats in my life. After marriage, my MIL taught me how to make oat porridge with milk and sugar. It tastes just like payasam, so we made it once in a while. Then I read this recipe in a magazine, it involves adding buttermilk, cumin and salt to oats porridge. I tried it at once and it was a huge hit.  Now we are regularly having this porridge in our morning breakfast menu.
