Oats Idly

Ingredients

Old fashioned Oats (Steel cut oats, rolled oats) 2 cups

Rava ¼ cup

Sour curds 2 cups

Salt to taste

A good fresh tadka of mustard, urad, channa dhal, red chillies and hing.

Finely chopped carrots, cilantro and curry leaves.

A pinch of Baking soda

Method:

Roast the oats and rava, on amedium flame, till it becomes pinkish (oats) and golden (rava)

Powder by pulsing to a fairly coarse paste, add salt, tadka, carrots, cilantro, curry leaves and the curds. Mix very well and let it sit for about 10 mins. Add water if it becomes thick, it should be a pourable batter, like idli batter, for soft idlis.

Just before you are getting ready to pour into the idli molds, add a pinch of soda and mix very well. Pour into the molds, do not over fill, it tends to really swell. Steam as you would for regular idlis, till a toothpick comes out clean. It might take a little longer than normal idlis.

Enjoy with any chutney of your choice.!
