Oats Idlis

Experimenting in the kitchen, like many of you do, leads to some interesting outcomes - My oats idli was one such experiment and frankly, it turned out SO good! They are like Rava idlis, only tastier! Also Oats is a healthy grain and gives you a better alternative to rice...

Ingredients:

2 cups of instant oats
1/2 cup of Rava
2-1/2 -3 cups of yogurt
1 table spoon of Besan/ Kadalamavu/ gramflour
1 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon each of
cumin seeds
mustard seeds
urid dal
asafoetida
A few curry leaves

Preparation

Mix your oats, rava and besan together first, sift if necessary
Add the yogurt a cup at a time until you get a regular idli - sort of like pudding?
In a small pan, thadka or sautee the spices and throw into mixture
Add cashews if you like
Get your Idli pans greased and pour and steam for 10-11 minutes of medium high flame

Enjoy with sambar, chutney or molagai podi :-) Stay healthy
