Masala Oats Dosa

 Growing up my favorite breakfast was Idli. But as I grew up I realized the amount of planning it takes to get Idli on your plate.

But as I grew up a bit more, I found the convenience of the ready made "mix" for idlis. Then I discovered Oats idlis, rava idlis and then the bst of both worlds Rava Oats idli.


And then I finally wanted to make Dosa/Cheela with the batter of Rava Oats idli and they were super delicious. I know my mom would have been proud of me :)


Masala Oats Dosa (Crepes made with oats and samolina with Indian flavors)

Masala Oats Dosa

Ingredients:

  1. 1 cup quick cooking oats (pulse once or twice to make the oats a bit small)
  2. 1/2 cup sooji/samolina
  3. 1 masala packet from the masala oats (or 1 tablespoon chat masala)
  4. 1 tablespoon oil + oil for frying the dosa
  5. 1 tablespoon chana dal
  6. 1/2 teaspoon each of mustard, cumin, urad dal
  7. 1/2 cup yogurt
  8. Salt if needed
  9. handful of finely chopped cilantro
  10. 1/4 cup finely grated carrots , cabbage
  11. 1 teaspoon baking soda
  12. 1 tablespoon lemon juice
In a pan heat one tablespoon oil add the mustard seeds. Cover and cook until they start splattering. Add chana dal and fry for 30 minutes. Add cumin and urad dal. Add the Sooji and fry for a couple of minutes.
In a dish beat the yogurt and add all the ingredients (except baking soda) to it and 1 to 11/2 cup hot water and stir well. Set it aside for 10 minutes.
Add baking soda and stir lightly and set aside for 5 minutes.

Heat a griddle and take a ladle of the batter and add to the center of the griddle. With a light hand spread it into a circle with a light hand. Add some oil to the edges of the dosa and let cook for 2 minutes. Flip and add some oil and cook for 2 more minutes. Enjoy with coconut or peanut chutney
