In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add rolled oats, reduce heat, and simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the oats are cooked and water is fully absorbed. Allow it to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled oats, grated carrot, grated zucchini, chopped onion, and minced garlic.
Add chickpea flour, breadcrumbs, chopped green chilies, salt, black pepper, paprika, and cumin powder to the vegetable mixture. Mix well to combine.
Add chopped coriander leaves and lemon juice to the mixture. Mix again until all the ingredients are well incorporated and a dough-like consistency is achieved.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape them into patties.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Place the patties in the skillet, leaving some space between each.
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy, adding more oil as needed.
Transfer cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve the vegetable oatmeal patties warm with a side of yogurt or a tangy chutney.
