INDIAN MITHAI OVERNIGHT OATS

 

 

February has started off with a bang, with so many positive beginnings, ideas and results. It also entailed a spontaneous vacation that proved to be one of the best trips of my life – but more on that later. This also means I have been incredibly busy multi-tasking, and it has been so exhausting but ever so rewarding. Inspiration has been flooding in from every corner.

Today we bring East and West together. Overnight oats is a popular breakfast as its easy, healthy, nutritious, and tends to sit well with every kind of picky eater. If you’ve been following Kitchen Therapy for some time now, you will notice a lack of Indian touches to the recipes. My upbringing around the world has me favouring other cuisines more often than Indian. Additionally, I believe that there are many amazing Indian food bloggers offering sumptuous options.

But this concoction is something I could not resist to share. I have the elderly in mind with this recipe, and it has been tried and tested successfully with them.

I use the delicious SPRIG Bourbon Vanilla Extract, Cinnamon and Cardamom. Their cinnamon and cardamom comes in extremely cool packaging, and the Sri Lankan Ceylon cinnamon sticks are a delight to any food photographer – thin, long and perfectly sized cinnamon sticks! And the fragrant “queen of spices”, cardamom, comes from Idukki, Kerala, are handpicked to ensure each cardamom is extra large pods.

Plum season is here and a poached plum is quite desirable in the cool early mornings. pairing with good old fashioned oatmeal, i love this hearty breakfast. i drizzle more honey than necessary to combat the tart plums, and the crunch of pistachios on top is the best!

This is my easy-peasy kid’s breakfast morning recipe. It works wonders with all age groups though and I have once added rum-soaked raisins as well, or hints of orange zest, an added lashing of brandy, sometimes allspice, sometimes frozen berries for a red jolt. I’ve never made anything easier, that made a huge impact. When I serve this in the morning, I also pair it with hot chocolate and create a bar with toppings – caramel sauce, chocolate sauce, nuts, sprinkles, chai spices, maple syrup and whipped cream – which work as toppings for both items. And let me tell you, the kids have a jolly good time!

This is a delicious quick meal that can be had at any time of the day and perhaps one of my most favourite. Once I had an olive baguette that I used, and ever since, I’ve been adding olives into the egg batter. The dash of Worcestershire sauce is like a Welsh rarebit recipe – and adds a dash of oomph. Lots of herbs and chilies and then the best part is – lots of cheese on top – until nice golden and crispy! Eat as is, with sides of ketchup or hot sauce, some Dijon works too!
