Suggestions:        
I have used Quaker oats, adjust the water level according to the oats you are using.

This Lemon Oats upma does not need any side dish, but can be served with any chutney of your choice.
I have dry roasted the oats, so that the upma will be fluffy. But if you are running out of time you can skip that step and follow the same procedure.
Adjust the amount of lemon juice according to your taste.
