  5. Add chopped capsicum, carrots and peas to the mixture. Put the lid on and cook it for 3-4 minutes. I have added frozen peas, incase you are using fresh peas then you can add it before other veggies and cook it for longer.

  7. Add oats to the pan and mix the ingredients well. Sprinkle 1-2 tablespoons of water and then cover pan with the lid. I have used quick cooking oats here, if using rolled oats, you need to soak them in water for 10 mins, then drain and add.
