Oats Dosa

Dosa is a staple breakfast items in many families – especially from South India. However, those who do not make it often are intimidated by the process and whether it will ferment properly or not. So for those who do not prefer the process of making a traditional dosa, then there are definitely other options to make instant versions and enjoy them too. Oats Dosa uses the goodness of oats to make a wholesome breakfast that you can enjoy with a chutney of your choice.

What I love about Oats Dosa is that you can make it quickly and it has a great flavour which comes from onions and other ingredients ground together with the oats. The only tricky part I feel is that oats generally have a slightly slimy texture when they absorb liquid. So you need to be a little careful while making the dosas. And in case you are finding it difficult to spread the batter onto the hot tawa, you can always make thick dosas which do not need too much of spreading.

You can also use the same recipe to make uthappams. Just make it thick and add toppings of your choice to make some delicious uthappams.
