Cooking steps for Oats Dosas

  1. 1
    A nutritious and tasty breakfast is no longer a tough task.
  2. 2
    Making oats dosa is one nice option, where the goodness of oats comes with the freshness of the vegetables.
  3. 3
    Start by taking 1 cup of oats and grinding them into a fine powder in a mixer grinder.
  4. 4
    This will change the oats into all-purpose flour, which forms the base of the dosa.
  5. 5
    It not only gives that unique flavour but also boosts the nutritional value, making this much healthier than the traditional dosa flour.
  6. 6
    Now, mix the ground oats with 1/2 cup of rice flour in a big mixing bowl. The rice flour adds to that traditional dosa texture and the slight crunchiness when cooked.
  7. 7
    Add 1/4 cup of finely chopped onions, providing a lovely sweetness and depth of flavour, along with 1/4 cup of grated carrot for a touch of natural sweetness and colour.
  8. 8
    Then, bring a gleam of brightness to the dish by adding 1/4 cup of chopped coriander leaves for the fresh aroma and one finely chopped green chilli for mild heat.
  9. 9
    Add 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds for enhanced flavour, salt to taste.
  10. 10
    Then pour in the water gradually while constantly stirring until it comes to a smooth batter.
  11. 11
    The requirement is for you to get a pouring consistency so that it spreads across the pan.
  12. 12
    Letting the batter rest for about 15-20 minutes is very important as the flavours mature and the texture of the batter becomes even better while being cooked. Now let's prepare the dosa.
  13. 13
    Put a non-stick tawa or a dosa pan on medium flame and let it become hot.
  14. 14
    Once it becomes hot, pour a ladleful of batter onto the tawa and spread it in a circular motion; now you have a dosa.
  15. 15
    The trick to a good dosa is to spread it while not letting it become too thick, as thinner dosas will become crispier and tastier.
  16. 16
    To give extra flavour and texture, drizzle 1 teaspoon of oil all around the edges of your dosa.
  17. 17
    This will not only make it cook uniformly but also give it a appetizing golden brown colour when ready.
  18. 18
    Cook until golden brown and crispy for around 2-3 minutes.
  19. 19
    Once the bottom is well browned, flip the dosa very carefully using a spatula and cook the other side for about a minute.
  20. 20
    That way, you will make sure both sides are well-cooked and crispy.
  21. 21
    Once the second side is cooked, fold the dosa into half or quarters and place it on the serving plate.
  22. 22
    Repeat with remaining batter, adjusting heat as necessary so that dosas brown without burning.
  23. 23
    Still, each dosa will become golden and crispy, with the colourful flecks of vegetables peeking through.
  24. 24
    Serve the oats dosa hot with some coconut chutney or sambar for dipping.
  25. 25
    Given that the spiciness of sambar works as a complement to the creaminess of the chutney, it feels great having the oats dosa as a wholesome breakfast.
  26. 26
    It is ready in half an hour and is also packed with nutrients, so it is perfect to start a healthy day.
  27. 27
    So go ahead and indulge in this yummy but nutrient-rich oats dosa - a treat that you have prepared that tastes good for you!

FAQs

What is an oats dosa, and how is it different from a normal dosa?

Oats dosa is a healthy, gluten-free alternative to the traditional South Indian dosa made from fermented rice and lentil batter. Unlike a traditional dosa, in oats dosa, ground oats replace rice flour, so it becomes an option filled with fibre and proteins. The batter can be mixed with extra ingredients such as yoghurt, water, cumin, and green chillies. Oats dosa is unlike the usual dosa, which has a fermentation period. Hence, oats dosa can be easily made immediately within a few minutes, making it convenient to have oats dosa for breakfast or even for snacks.

Does oats dosa have potential for dietary restrictions?

Yes, oats dosa is very good for all dietary restrictions. It is naturally gluten-free and, hence fit for the gluten-intolerant or those who suffer from celiac. Additionally, it can be made vegan with plant-based yoghurt or water to create the dough. One may also include grated carrots or spinach to pack more nutrition into that dish. That's what makes oats dosa such a versatile dish, which caters to any kind of diet needs and is still delicious.

How to store oats dosa?

Store leftover oats dosa in a closed container and keep refrigerated for a day or two. Heat in a hot skillet for several minutes on either side until it's warm. Microwave it if you're short of time; it might not get crispy, though. Serve the oats dosa with a chutney or sambar along with it to pacify your hunger!
