Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a mixing bowl or jar, start by adding 1 cup of rolled oats, 1 cup of your choice of milk, and ½ cup of yogurt. Then, stir in 1 tablespoon of chia seeds, 1 tablespoon of honey, ¼ teaspoon of ground cardamom, ½ teaspoon of cinnamon, a pinch of turmeric, ¼ teaspoon of ground ginger, and a small pinch of salt.
  2. Cover the bowl or jar tightly with a lid or plastic wrap. Place it in the refrigerator and allow it to chill for at least 6 hours, or ideally overnight.
  3. After chilling, give the mixture a good stir to combine everything again. If the oats are too thick for your liking, gently stir in a splash of milk until you reach your desired consistency.
  4. Top your bowl with a handful of chopped nuts for a crunchy bite, and a sprinkle of dried mango or raisins for a sweet touch.
  5. Serve and enjoy your delightful Nourishing Indian Overnight Oats!
