Protein-Packed Moong Dal Oats Uttapam: A Healthy Breakfast Recipe You'll Love

Looking for a breakfast that's quick, healthy, and full of flavor? Guntas Sethi, known for her vibrant food creations, brings to life a recipe crafted by wellness expert Luke Coutinho, the Moong Dal Oats Uttapam. It's a smart blend of Indian comfort and nutrition science, perfect for busy mornings or thoughtful tiffins.

Why This Uttapam Works:

This isn't your regular uttapam. It's packed with 15.1 grams of plant-based protein per serving, thanks to moong dal and oats. The oats add fiber, keeping you full and energized for hours. A pinch of hing (asafoetida) helps soothe the gut, making digestion easy and light.

Colorful veggies like carrots, capsicum, and coriander not only add crunch and taste but also bring in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals — all the good stuff your body needs to start the day strong.

Recipe:

Making this uttapam is super simple:

• Soak moong dal and blend it with oats to make a smooth batter
• Add chopped veggies, ginger-garlic, and cook on a pan with a few drops of cold-pressed coconut oil or A2 ghee
• Pair with your favorite chutney and enjoy a wholesome, tasty meal
• It's light, filling, and perfect for all age groups, kids, working professionals, and even grandparents.

This recipe celebrates native ingredients and traditional wisdom, with a modern twist. Whether you're chasing protein goals or just want a change from your usual breakfast, this uttapam is worth a try.
