Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup Rolled oats
  • 2 teaspoons Chia seeds
  • ¼ teaspoon Cardamom powder
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1 pinch Saffron, crushed with your fingertips
  • 2 tablespoons Sugar (adjust to taste)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup Milk, preferably full fat

Toppings

  • 3 tablespoons Raw pistachios, chopped

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a mason jar or any suitable container, add the rolled oats, chia seeds, cardamom powder, salt, crushed saffron, sugar, and full-fat milk. Stir thoroughly to mix all ingredients evenly.
  2. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the jar or container tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, but not exceeding 2 days. This allows the oats to soak and absorb the flavors, softening into a creamy texture.
  3. Prepare to Serve: Before serving, stir in half of the chopped pistachios into the soaked oats. Taste the mixture, and if you prefer it sweeter, add more sugar accordingly and stir well.
  4. Serve: Spoon the oats into serving bowls or enjoy directly from the container. Top with the remaining chopped pistachios for added crunch and garnish. Enjoy your nutritious Indian-style overnight oats!

Notes

  • Use rolled or old-fashioned oats for the best texture. Instant oats may become mushy after long soaking.
  • If you don’t have saffron, you can omit it; the oats will have a paler color but still taste delicious.
  • Adjust the sugar quantity to your preferred sweetness level.
  • Full-fat milk provides a creamier and richer flavor, but you can substitute with plant-based or lower-fat milk if preferred.
