Today I came up with this idea of making breakfast with Oats. I know my Son is bored of eating his daily cereals or the breakfast oats. So I wanted to keep the oats in his breakfast but make some other new recipe, like this dosa which he likes and hide the oats in it. So that I am satisfied that he is still eating his oats. :-)
This recipe turned some good crispy dosa. I think they tasted better than the regular dosas for sure. Yet another try to get a little healthy stuff into our belly. he he he....
OATS DOSA RECIPE
-----------------------
Ingredients:
-------------
1 cup Regular Rice ( I used 3/4 cup of Basmati Rice and 1/4 cup Long Grain Rice)
Note: You can substitute it with any regular long grain rice or even brown rice, to make it more healthier)
1/2 cup Urad dal
1 1/2 cup Quick cooking Oats (100% whole grain Oats)
1 tsp Fenugreek seeds
1/4 cup Cooked Rice
salt to taste
Method:
----------
1. Soak the rice and urad dal and methi seeds separately in water overnight or 5-6 hrs.
2. Soak oats in water @ 30 -40 mins before grinding.
2. Grind everything to a smooth paste along with the cooked rice like regular dosa batter.
3. Mix the batter well and leave it in a warm place for fermentation.
Note: The fermentation should not be more than 8-10 hrs, as the Oats will not let more fermentation to happen, else will spoil the batter)
4. Add salt to the fermented batter.
5. Heat your dosa pan/ griddle and grease it with some oil when hot.
6. Pour the dosa batter on the pan with the help of your ladle and spread it in circular motion starting from the center to form a thin dosa.
7. Put some oil on and around the edges of the dosa and cook the dosa until golden brown.
8. I served this amazing wonder dosa with Peanut Mint Chutney.
