Oats Dosa / Oats Crepe

A and I enjoy trying out new dishes and cuisines. Thanks to our food-loving friends, we get to know reviews on the new restaurants (and the ol' ones - A knows them by-heart! ).

There was a tin-full of oats on the kitchen shelf from months! I had tasted them once and had had enough. Last day, when A was "raiding" the kitchen he found the tin. And gave me the idea of trying out Oats dosa. :D  A great idea :)



The best part of making oats dosa is that it is very easy. The process is the same as making the regular dosa. I am sure most of  you would have made this and know all about it. Still, it feels good to share it with my friends here at the blogosphere. :)

Ingredients

  • Long grain rice - 1 C
  • Instant Oats - 3 C
  • Split Urad dal - 1 C
  • Fenugreek seeds - 1 T
  • Salt - to taste




Method

For the batter

  • Wash the rice and urad dal seperately.
  • Soak the long grain rice overnight or for 8 hours.
  • Soak urad dal, fenugreek seeds and oats an hour before you are ready to grind.
  • Grind these to a grainy kind of paste - add water as required.
  • Move the ground mix to a large mixing bowl and add enough water to make a batter.
  • Keep the batter in a warm place for 8 hrs or overnight.
  • After fermentation, stir the batter very well and add salt to your taste.
  • Now, the batter is ready to use.


For preparing the dosa

  • Heat a non-stick tawa or pan on medium high.
  • Meanwhile, add 5 T of oil into a small bowl and keep aside.
  • Fold a paper towel into a wad and keep aside.
  • Once the pan is hot, dip the paper wad into the bowl of oil and rub it over the surface of the pan.
  • Fill the ladle with the batter and pour into onto the center of the pan.
  • Swish and spread the batter in circular motion using the ladle, till the ladle is empty.
  • Immediately, drizzle little oil on the edges of the dosa using the wad or a spoon (Optional - this step makes a lot of difference to the taste, but adds calories too ) :D
  • Once the upper surface of the dosa looks cooked, flip it.
  • Allow to cook for 30 seconds and flip again.
  • Fold the dosa into half.
  • Serve with yummy coconut chutney.

Hurray!!! Oats dosa is ready. Healthy and yummy :)

    I love such fusion recipes and where you just add things and they enhance nutrition or flavor, love it :)

The Kitchen Affaire turns One :)

The afternoon breeze and the sound of rustling leaves is so soothing. So here I sit, enjoying this change of weather, to pen memories of last year. Gosh!! I cant believe that - The Kitchen Affaire; is turning "One". :) Time does fly. Last year has been very eventful. An year that changed my title from: a carefree mommy's gal to an "adorable" ("A" would not agree with this!! hi hi) wife; an IT engineer to a house-wife;  and a huge move from my home in Kerala (India) to a new home in Houston (U.S.A). It feels like all of this happened in a blink of an eye. All this change wouldn't have sunk in so easily if not for my hubby dear. :)   Starting this blog was not impromptu. I used to blog during my college days. But this time I wanted a blog meant only for my cooking experiments or challenges. After settling down in our lovely apartment, I slowly started my cooking experiments. Initially I would jot all of it in a notebook. Then I decided not to a
