Today it's besan-oats chilka for dinner. This helps in weight management and it tasty too. It's just like pan cakes made from a batter of fried oats and gram flour. I mixed some ginger and green chilly paste and some spinach shreds into the batter and made pancakes/roti/chilka out of them. We are going to have them with mixed vegetable curry or gram dal season with coconut.
What are you having for dinner?

No I roast the oats in a dry wok till brown, grind it and mix it with gram flour and make the batter with butter milk. You can use water too.

This looks yummy. My dinner was meat stew. I don't eat pork anymore but that was the only meal we have last night. So I ate pork again.

@aninditasen I think I stopped eating pork for 6 years. Until this year, I was forced to eat the meat but I eat it not very often.

@jobelbojel I find non- veg hard to digest and therefore take them for lunch.
