Oats is a favorite in our home. My husband and I can eat it many times a week! We mostly eat oats porridge and I was thinking of changing the way we eat oats when my anni gave me this oats idli recipe. It is very easy to make and tastes wonderful.
OATS IDLI
Serve hot with chutney. We had it with peanut tomato chutney.
Notes
1. Adding baking soda is a must. Otherwise idli won't rise and won't be porous.
2. You can saute the carrots lightly and then add it to the batter too.
3. If you want to serve this to kids, avoid green chillies or remove it before you pour onto idli plates.
4. Add any veggies of your choice.
5. To make it more healthy, you can use wheat rava too.
Until next time,
