Sending my hubby to shop for groceries is always a catch 22 situation for me - getting work done v/s an always extra stock of supplies..his logic- so I don't send him on the same errand soon again !! :)) So I am stuck with a couple of Quacker Oats packets and wondering what to do :(( had thought of trying out oats idli first but realised some of the ingredients were missing so then thought of oats dosa. Adapted from the original recipe here (http://simpleindianfood.blogspot.com/2008/02/oats-dosa.html) which is quite similar to the instant rava dosa recipe my mom makes (just leave out the oats in the recipe below for plain rava dosa)..turned out really delicious . The only trick is in handling the batter..for every dosa you make give the batter a nice mix as all the thick powders tend to settle down and the batter will be very thin at the top. So give it a nice mix every time you take a ladleful out for the dosa..this Sunday try something healthy and new :)
1 cup oats
1/2 cup sooji (semolina)
1/2 cup rice flour (readily available)
1 green chilli, finely chopped
1 teaspoon jeera
3 cups water
Salt
Oil ,for cooking
1 onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup, chopped coriander leaves
1. Dry roast the oats till they turn brown and a nice aroma wafts through your kitchen.
2. Cool and grind to a powder
3. Mix all the ingredients together (except the onion)
4. Heat a non-stick tawa or pan . The pan has to be really hot for the dosa to come off easily. Anyways the first dosa usually always ends up in love with the pan and refuses to come out easily so don't waste too much batter on the first one.
5. When tawa is hot, reduce the flame, pour a ladleful of the batter from the outside of the pan and cover till the inside. Brush with oil on the sides. Sprinkle few onion pieces and cover with a lid.
6. After 2-3 minutes when the dosa starts leaving the sides, turn it over and increase the flame to let it brown on the other side.
7. Flip it back on your plate and serve hot...
This has the look of Rava dosa but tastes better definitely..another trick to avoid the batter sticking to the pan is to clean the pan with an onion half dipped in a mixture of oil and water,before spooning out the batter on the pan ..works for me atleast !
