Surely oats can be enjoyed in this form, as a variation to the porridge. Oatmeal is whisked together and spiced up with green chillies, coriander leaves and cumin. The result is an alboslutely delicious flavor and packing you up with all that energy. This has always been a quick fix meal for me when I run out of groceries. My children enjoy these dosa's for breakfast or dinner.

It taste great with just a cup of yogurt, but I love to serve it with a spicy home made tomato sauce.

Oats Dosa

Makes: 5 - 6 dosa’s
Cooking time
: approximately 2 minutes per dosa
Preparation Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup oatmeal
  • ¼ cup semolina/rava/sooji
  • ¼ cup rice flour or whole wheat flour
  • ½ cup yougurt
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon green chillies (optional if serving children)
  • 1 teaspoon crushed black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped coriander
  • A teaspoon of oil for each dosa
  • Salt to taste

Method

Mix all the ingredients and set aside for 15 minutes. The batter should be of pouring consistency.

Heat griddle; turn to high heat; pour a laddle full of batter on the griddle from outside to inside, The batter will spread on its own due to the heat. Fill up open spaces. The dosa will have tiny holes in them, this allows the dosa to breathe and get crisp as well. Now pour a teaspoon of oil around the dosa.

Allow it to cook on medium heat.

Flip when the bottom site is done (turned golden brown). Wait for the other side to get cooked, about 1 minute. You will notice the dosa has become crisp.

Since yogurt is added, these dosa’s can turn out to be soft. If you like it to be crisp, then cook it in simmer and add a little more oil, until you get the desired texture.

Savor these dosa’s just like that, or with tomato onion chutney.

Alternative Tasty Tips

You can add chopped spinach/ chopped cabbage/chopped onions/chopped fenugreek leaves/chopped mint/grated carrots to make it a healthier meal

I adore dosais and have never made an oatmeal dosai, though I have tasted one in AP. Having made this it deserves an 11 out of 10, and oatmeal and spinach is a combination to die for.

when you say oatmeal? Are you referring to oatmeal flour or instant oatmeal? Would you please clarify that? I just tried your potato and eggplant recipe. Turn out really good. Thanks.

I made this dosa this weekend for lunch. They turned out very good! I was a little skeptical first because of oatmeal but we loved it! I will be making them often. Thanks Archana.

Hey archana. This dosa was a huge success with both my husband and fussy kids. Infact the kids just loved it!! What better way to ensure they get their share of healthy oatmeal considering they don eat the porridge. Thanks and keep more of them coming. Cheers

This is a very good recipe, I love trying out new things with dosas. I make a rice flour and yoghurt dosa which is also soft and delicious. You can see pictures here, on my blog: http://mangosoup.blogspot.com/2009/08/coconut-and-rice-flour-dosas.html
