Breakfast Oat

The most simple and healthy breakfast recipe which does not involve cooking.
Soak 1/2 cup oatmeal(Quaker Old Fashioned) overnight in a cup of milk. Heat for a minute in microwave in morning, mix honey or sugar and whatever fruits/dry fruits you want. Healthy breakfast is ready without much effort.
If you forget to soak oat at night, you can soak oat in hot milk for 30 minutes in the morning and it tastes the same.
We eat this for breakfast at least 3 days a week.

Golzeme - Desi version that my kids prefer

Golzeme is a Turkish pastry.  Here's an Indianised version.

Ingredients:
Naan or slightly thicker Chapatis/Rotis
Boiled and mashed potatoes
Cut tender spinach
Minced garlic
Salt, chili flakes
mozzarella cheese

Mix mashed potatoes and spinach with salt and chili flakes. 

 
 
In a kadai, heat a tsp of oil.  Roast minced garlic.  Here is where you get creative and can add ginger, turmeric powder, cumin and any other desi spices.  Add potato mixture and let it cook for a minute. 
 

On a tava, warm up naan on one side.  On the warmed up side, place some of the potato mixture and top it with mozzarella cheese.


Heat up your Panini maker.  Fold the naan and grill for a couple of minutes.  Cut into triangles.  Goes great with ketchup or sour cream.  Or chutney if unlike my kids, yours do eat spicy Indian sides.
