Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 1 cup Milk (preferably full fat)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons Chia seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch saffron (crushed with your fingertips)
Toppings
- 3 tablespoons raw pistachios (chopped)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a mason jar or container, mix together the rolled oats, milk, sugar, chia seeds, cardamom powder, salt, and crushed saffron thoroughly.
- Refrigerate: Cover the container securely and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or up to 2 days. This allows the oats to soak and absorb the flavors, softening to a creamy texture.
- Serve: Before serving, stir in half of the chopped pistachios and taste the mixture. Adjust sweetness by adding more sugar if desired. Top with the remaining chopped pistachios and enjoy your flavorful Indian overnight oats.
Notes
- Use full-fat milk for a creamier texture; plant-based milk can be substituted for a dairy-free version.
- Letting the oats soak overnight ensures better digestion and a softer texture.
- Feel free to adjust sugar content according to your preference or substitute with natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup.
- Chia seeds add extra fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, making this recipe more nutritious.
- Saffron adds a subtle exotic aroma and color; crush it gently to release its flavor.
- Store the prepared oats in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days for optimal freshness.
