Don’t believe me? Check out this oats kheer recipe:

Ingredients
1 cup oats
2 cups toned milk
1 tsp elaichi (cardamom) powder
8-10 almonds
5-6 walnuts
8-10 pistachios
8-10 raisins
1 carrot, grated
Jaggery to taste
2 tbsp desiccated coconut
1 tsp Ghee
1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
1 tsp flax seeds
1 tsp soaked chia seeds

Preparation:
1. Heat the ghee in a pan and roast the walnuts, almonds, and pistachios in it. Once they’re crispy and red, crush them into coarse chunks using your mortar and pestle. Set aside.

2. In another pan, combine the milk, half a cup of water, and the elaichi powder and bring it to a boil.

3. Now, add the oats and jaggery. Boil the mixture till the oats swell up. Just before the mixture reaches the desired consistency, add the grated carrot and bring it a boil. Turn off the heat.

4. Scoop the mixture in a bowl and garnish with roasted nuts, raisins, flax seeds, chia seeds, pomegranate seeds, and desiccated coconut and enjoy the goodness.
