How to make Spiced Chicken And Masala Oats Bowl

- Prepare the vegetables. Peel and grate the carrot and mooli radish, then thinly slice the cucumber so the toppings are ready for the finished bowls.
- Cook the masala oats. Bring water to the boil in a medium saucepan, add the masala oats and cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until creamy. Sauté minced garlic in the air fryer for 2 minutes and mix it into the oats.
- Layer the bowl. Arrange the chicken pieces evenly over the oats, then top with the grated carrot, mooli radish and cucumber slices for crunch and colour.

Frequently asked questions
- How long does the Spiced Chicken and Masala Oats Bowl take to make?
- About 35 minutes: 10 minutes of prep and 25 minutes of cooking.
- Can I use a different vegetable than mooli in a Spiced Chicken and Masala Oats Bowl?
- Swap the grated mooli for grated red radish or extra carrot. Both give the same fresh crunch on top of the warm oats and chicken.
- Why is cinnamon sprinkled over a masala oats bowl?
- A small pinch adds a warm, sweet aroma that rounds off the Madras curry powder and garam masala. Use it sparingly so it doesn't overpower the chicken.
- How can I make the masala chicken milder?
- Use less Madras curry powder when seasoning the chicken, since it brings most of the heat. The cool cucumber and grated carrot topping also balance the spice.
- Can I cook the spiced chicken in advance?
- Yes, cook the chicken ahead and refrigerate it, then reheat until piping hot. Make the oats fresh, as they thicken and set once cooled.
