Switch on the saute mode in your instant pot and add the oil. When it heats up add the bayleaf, garlic, onions, white part of spring onions and saute until the onions turn translucent.

Now add the chopped veggies ( I used frozen mixed veggies), salt as needed and mix.

Add the oats, 1 cup water, the italian seasoning and cook on manual mode for 6 minutes.

Release pressure after 5 to 6 minutes. Open up add mix the milk, nutmeg, sugar, geen part of spring onions and adjust salt as needed. Add as much as milk as needed to make it thick or runny. I added the amount mentioned to make it into a soupy consistency.

Serve as such or with a sprinkle of chilli flakes or cheese.

In a deep pan add oil and bay leaf, chopped garlic, onions and white part of spring onions and saute until the onions turn translucent.

Now add the veggies and saute for couple of minutes. Do not over cook them.

Next add the oats, 1/2 cup water, 1 cup milk (or more) salt, sugar, italian seasoning and cook them in a low medium flame until the oats are cooked.

When the oats are done, switch off and serve garnished with spring onion greens, a pinch of nutmeg and a sprinkle of cheese (optional)
