Ingredients
Overnight Oats Base
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 1 cup Milk, preferably full fat
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons Chia seeds
- ¼ teaspoon cardamom powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch saffron, crushed with your fingertips
Topping
- 3 tablespoons raw pistachios, chopped
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a mason jar or a container, add rolled oats, milk, sugar, chia seeds, cardamom powder, salt, and crushed saffron. Stir thoroughly to mix all ingredients well.
- Refrigerate: Cover the jar or container tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or up to 2 days to allow the oats to soak and absorb the flavors fully.
- Mix Pistachios and Taste: Before serving, stir in half of the chopped pistachios into the soaked oats. Taste the mixture; if you prefer it sweeter, add more sugar accordingly and mix well.
- Serve: Enjoy your Indian Overnight Oats by topping with the remaining chopped pistachios for a delightful crunch and presentation.
Notes
- Oats: Use rolled or old fashioned oats as instant oats can become mushy during long soaking.
- Saffron: If you don’t have saffron, simply omit it; the oats will retain a pale color but remain flavorful.
- Sugar: Adjust the amount of sugar to your taste preference for sweetness.
