Healthy Oats Dosa - Instant Dinner

Step 1: Roast Oats

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

Step 2: Blend Oats

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

Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients

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

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 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.

• Adjust the consistency of the batter by adding more water if it becomes too thick after resting.

• Ensure the tawa is hot before pouring the batter for best results.

• Customize toppings like onions, green chilies, and coriander leaves according to your preference.

• Add grated carrots or finely chopped bell peppers to the batter for added vegetables.

• Serve with different chutneys or sambar for varied flavors.
