    Dried apricots
    Dried berries

    One Night Before:

    Lightly dry roast the oats & quinoa in a warm cast iron skillet on
    low to medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes until you smell a nice aroma.
    Set aside to cool down completely.

    In a pressure cooker, tip in the roasted oats & quinoa along with
    water, salt and oil. Put on the lid and cook on medium heat until the
    first whistle blows off. Immediately switch off the heat and let sit
    to cool down. Do not stir the boiled oats until they are completely
    cold. Using a fork fluff them up, transfer to a bowl and refrigerate
    overnight. You need cold, cooked oats for this recipe else everything
    will be a sticky mess.

    You can also cook the oats & quinoa in a pot with a lid until they are
    thoroughly cooked and all the water is absorbed. Adjust time as
    required.

    Tip:

    While the oats are cooking, you can cut up all the vegetable before
    hand so as to save more time in the morning.

    Next Morning:

    In a wide, heavy bottomed pan, heat up the oil on medium heat. Add the
    cumin seeds and wait until they splutter. Add the peas and corn next,
    also add the ginger and chiles. Stir around for 1 to 2 minutes until
    they look shiny. Next, add the cauliflower, add a pinch of salt and
    continue to cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the florets soften a bit.

    Add the tomatoes next, stir around and reduce the heat to low, cook
    for 2 to 3 minutes until the tomatoes soften and the skin starts
    separating, increase the heat to medium and add cabbage and bell
    peppers at this point and mix up everything. Cook for another 1 to 2
    minutes until the vegetables soften a bit but retain the crunch.

    Next, add the cold oats to the pan, lightly break up or fluff either
    using a fork or wooden spoon so as to combine with the vegetables.
    Cook for not more than 1 to 2 minutes on low heat and switch off the
    stove. Add the lemon juice, roasted nuts, etc, and give it a final
    stir.

    Before serving, add a dollop of ghee (optional) on top and garnish
    with chopped cilantro.
