Oats Idli Recipe

  
Ingredients

• 2 cups oats
• 1/2 liter curd (slightly sour)
• 1 Tbsp mustard seeds
• 1 Tbsp urad dal
• 1/2 Tbsp channa dal
• 1/2 Tbsp oil
• 2 tsp finely chopped green chillies
• 1 cup grated carrots
• 2 Tbsp finely chopped coriander
• 1/2 Tbsp turmeric powder
• 2 Tbsp salt
• Eno fruit salt, a pinch

 Method

•  On a tawa, dry roast the oats until it turns slightly brown and then powder the oats in a mixer.
• In a pan, add oil, mustard seeds, urad dal, channa dal and allow the mustard to splutter and the dals to turn golden.
• To this, add the chopped chillies, coriander and grated carrots.
• Add the turmeric powder and fry for a minute.
• Add this seasoning to the powdered oats mixture and add the curd to it to make a batter like that of idli batter's consistency.
• You can add as much curd to the mixture to achieve the consistency, but do not add water to the batter.
• Grease the idli steamer plates with oil and pour the batter into each area of the steamer.
• Steam the idlis for 15 minutes.
• Note: To know if the idli is cooked, poke an idli with knife and check if the batter does not stick to the knife.
• Once done remove the idlis and serve with Onion chutney.
