Today I am posting a healthy south Indian breakfast using
Oats. Eating oats porridge daily will be boring , so do try various recipes with this grain.
Idli being announced as the world's top healthiest food , which is a common breakfast in the south Indian Homes.
Idli with oats , semolina and tempering mixed with curd, makes instant idli batter.
Half tsp sodium bi carbonate
Half tsp Split Channa Dhal
Two green chilli finely chopped
Half carrot finely chopped
Dry roast semolina and oats separately.
Grind oats to a coarse powder.
In a bowl , add the coarse oats , semolina , salt , sodium bicarbonate and mix well.
Heat oil in a pan , add the mustard seeds and let it splutter.
Add the channa dhal , curry leaves ,chopped ginger , chopped green chilli and saute for a minute.
Add the tempering to the mixture along with chopped carrot and coriander leaves.
Add the water and curd , mix well without any lumps. Let the batter rest for ten minute.
In the mean time , grease the idli plates if using stainless steel plates with ghee or cooking oil .
After ten minutes , mix the batter well. If you find the batter is very thick add enough water to adjust the consistency same as idli batter.
Pour a laddle full of batter and steam on medium flame for 20 minutes.
Switch off flame and wait for ten minutes till the idli cools, then demould the oats idlis.
Oats idli is ready to be served. Serve with coconut chutney .
