Oatmeal in a mithai flavour format? This is a real killer with the elderly who love sweets, but need a bit of fibre alongwith. I make the oatmeal the old-fashioned way in water with a pinch of salt, and for flavour i char-grill pineapple bits, add kesar, elaichi, badam and pista. If you like, add a dash of malai at the end and stir well!
All the richness without the guilt!
