Lentil Oats Porridge with Tomatoes & Prawns


          A protein rich and a comforting porridge with the goodness of lentils, oats, tomatoes and prawns is the best one can have for a light, satisfying meal. It is a diabetic friendly recipe that can be enjoyed guilt free. I made it into a curried style and my experiment in making this amazing soup was a super hit at my place. 

          Just a dash of lime is what all you need in this yummy porridge to tickle your taste buds. Here I have used tuvar dal (pigeon pea lentil) but you can opt for any lentil of your choice. For a veg. version, prawns can be substituted with mushrooms or paneer. So check the step by step pictorial recipe to prepare this on-pot healthy meal.








  • 1/2 cup tuvar dal (pigeon pea lentil), boiled
  • 1/2 cup oats, dry roasted
  • 2-3 tomatoes, pureed
  • 20-25 prawns, cleaned
  • 1-2 tbsp. olive oil / butter
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 tsp. ginger-garlic paste
  • salt to taste
  • 1/4 tsp. turmeric powder
  • 1/2 tsp. roasted cumin powder
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper powder
  • 2 slit green chilies (opt)
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 tsp. coriander leaves, chopped
  • 1 tsp. lime juice








          Heat oil in a pan and saute the prawns for a few seconds. Drain and keep aside. 

          In the same oil saute the onions till light brown. 

          Add the ginger-garlic paste and all the dry spices mixed with  little water. Stir fry for a few seconds.

          Add lime juice and garnish with coriander leaves. Enjoy as a light dinner or whenever you wish.
