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.
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
