For a Serving Size of Two:

Ingredients:

• 60 grams rolled oats
• 10 grams finely chopped almonds
• 10 grams finely chopped cashews
• 1 tablespoon ghee
• 1 small mashed ripe banana
• 200 ml milk
• 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder
• 1 tablespoon raisins

Procedure:

• Heat 1/2 tablespoon of ghee in a pan over medium heat.
