Notes
Adding coconut and using coconut oil supress the boring smell of oats.
Eat it hot and always keep covered until you eat.
Water you use should be less than the quantity of oats. That way the oats wont turn mushy.
You can add some vegetables to add colours and make it more interesting.
If you use the regular oats instead of quick cook, then you should be varying the water quantity accordingly.
