Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Roast Oats

   Add 1 cup of oats to a pan and roast them for 5 minutes on a low flame until lightly toasted.

2. 2.Blend Oats

   Transfer the roasted oats to a blender and blend them until a smooth powder is formed.

3. 3.Combine Dry Ingredients

   Pour the blended oats powder into a mixing bowl. Add 1/2 cup of sooji (semolina) to the bowl.

4. 4.Add Wet Ingredients and Spices

   Add 1/4 cup of yogurt, 1 tsp of cumin seeds, 1 tsp of finely chopped ginger, 1 tbsp of finely chopped green chili, 2 tbsp of finely chopped onion, 2 tbsp of coriander leaves, and salt to taste to the bowl.

5. 5.Mix Batter

   Pour water into the mixture and stir well with a ladle to form a smooth batter. Add more water as needed to adjust the consistency to a pourable, yet thick, batter.

6. 6.Rest the Batter

   Set the batter aside to rest for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, the batter may thicken; add a little more water and stir again to achieve the desired consistency.

7. 7.Cook the Dosa

   Heat a tawa (griddle) on medium heat. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the hot tawa and spread it evenly in a circular motion to form a dosa. Optionally, sprinkle finely chopped onion, green chili, and coriander leaves on top of the dosa.

8. 8.Flip and Serve

   Drizzle a little oil around the edges of the dosa. Cook until the edges turn golden brown, then flip and cook the other side until done. Once cooked, remove from the tawa and serve hot with chutney.
