    Instructions<\/div>\n
    \n
      \n
    1. First, let’s make shrimp roast. Prawns can also be used.<\/li>\n
    2. Place a saucepan over medium heat, add oil.<\/li>\n
    3. Add chopped onions, season with 1\/2 tsp salt, combine well.<\/li>\n
    4. Add ginger-garlic paste & curry leaves, saute till onions turn golden in color.<\/li>\n
    5. Add tomato, cook till tomato has slightly mashed up.<\/li>\n
    6. Add chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, garam masala & salt; combine well.<\/li>\n
    7. Add shrimp or prawns, combine well.<\/li>\n
    8. Cook covered till shrimp has cooked through.<\/li>\n
    9. Open the lid, stir fry over high heat till all the liquid has dried off.<\/li>\n
    10. This is a dry roast, take the pan off the heat & keep it aside.<\/li>\n
    11. Next, let’s make cauliflower stir fry.<\/li>\n
    12. I’ve taken half of a medium sized cauliflower, add the florets to a food processor & grate it.<\/li>\n
    13. Place a pan over medium heat, add oil.<\/li>\n
    14. Add mustard seeds, let splutter.<\/li>\n

    21. In a bowl, add oats- I’ve taken coarsely ground steel cut oats, instant oats can also be used.<\/li>\n
    22. Add salt & 2 tbsp water, combine well using your hand.<\/li>\n
    23. We just have to wet the oats, don’t add a lot of water oats will turn mushy.<\/li>\n
    24. I’ve used the puttu maker that can be placed on the whistle hole of the pressure cooker.<\/li>\n
    25. Place the disc into the puttu maker.<\/li>\n
    26. Add 1 tbsp grated coconut on the disc, top with a handful of wet oats.<\/li>\n
    27. Add a handful of cauliflower stir fry over the oats.<\/li>\n
    28. Add 2 tbsp shrimp roast over the cauliflower.<\/li>\n
    29. Again, add oats & cauliflower.<\/li>\n
    30. Topmost layer should be 1 tbsp grated coconut.<\/li>\n
    31. Close with the lid.<\/li>\n
    32. Add 2 cups water to a pressure cooker.<\/li>\n
    33. Place the pressure cooker over medium heat & let steam release from the pressure cooker hole.<\/li>\n
    34. Place the puttu maker on the whistle hole.<\/li>\n
    35. Let steam cook for 3 minutes till steam released from all the holes on the puttu maker lid.<\/li>\n
    36. Take the puttu maker of the pressure cooker, open the lid.<\/li>\n
    37. Flip it over to a plate.<\/li>\n
    38. Enjoy this healthy & delicious oats cauliflower shrimp puttu with pappad.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
