Oats Idli
Oats are healthy and better way to gain strength and energy to carry us through the busy schedule. Scientifically oats are known as Avena Sativa and are hardy cereal grain.Oats are harvested and then hulled, the process does not strip away their bran and germ allowing them to retain a concentrate source of their nutrients.To make oats fit for our consumption they are rolled or crushed into oatmeal, or ground into fine oat flour. There are various types of dishes that we can make from oats like porridge, upma, idlli, dosa etc. Today I am going to share a healthy breakfast recipe with you that is made from oats.
