This recipe is a fork of "Oats a la Pongal" from the blog Evolving Tastes [1], a "fusion" dish which was inspired by Tamil cuisine. On the day this author went to prepare the original Pongal Oats recipe I was short several ingredients and so made several substitutions and threw in a few other things I had handy. For those unfamiliar with Tamil and other Indian cuisine this is best thought of as something like a hearty vegetarian stew. This recipe makes two to three servings.
