Instant Oats Crepe/Dosa

Unknown

Know What You Eat: Instant Oats dosa/spicy oats pancake comes very handy and its nutritious when you dont know what to cook on Sundays for brunch..or you are tired of eating same old oats porridge..This is high in dietary fiber very high in manganese, magnesium,phosphorus,thiamin.

Just takes under 30 mins to get on to a plate

Ingredients:

1 C Oats (rolled or quick ), powdered in coffee grinder

1/2 C Semolina

2 Tbsp Rice Flour
1/2 C Yogurt

1-1/2 - 2 C Water

2 Green Chillies, finely chopped

1 Onion medium size, finely chopped

Salt, to taste
A pinch Asafoetida
Cilantro, finely chopped
Cumin (optional)

Directions:

1. Mix everything and set aside for 20-30 mins.

2. 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, just like pancake 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.
3.Allow it to cook on medium heat.
4. Flip when the bottom side is done, turned slightly golden brown. Wait for the other side to get cooked, about 1 minute.
5. Since yogurt is added, these dosa’s will 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.
6.Serve it with dry powder chutney along with some ghee (clarified butter)(I bought it ready made)
