Oats Dosa!!!

Being from North India i am a big big Fan of South Indian Food.I just loveeee Dosa Sambhar and after coming to US i came to know more about south indian cooking,back in india i just know Dosa,Idli,Vada Sambhar and Rasam,Utapam that's it.Here i came to know to many other south indian dishes like Lemon rice,tamarind Rice,Curd Rice,paniyarum etc

Well Recently we were trying to control our diet and also trying to eat healthy so i keep on searching net for healthy and tasty recipe.I saw these Oats dosa but thought OATS dosa????i don't like oats so thought i wont like it also and i dropped the idea of trying it.But after that i had it at my frds place and i just loveeee it..Now i am cooking it once in every week.Believe me just try it once you will fall in love with these Dosa.



Ingredients

1 cup oatmeal
1 cup semolina/rava/sooji
¼ cup rice flour(add more if you want it more crispy)
½ cup yogurt
1 teaspoon green chillies
2 tablespoons chopped coriander
Salt to taste
Chopped Onions

Method

Batter Making:
Soak the oats in 1/2 cup of water for 10 min.Then grind it in the blender.Mix all the ingredients and set aside for 15 minutes.
In 15 min your dosa batter is ready ,isn't really quick.And they really turned very tasty.Well once i had some left over Batter and i made dosa the next day too,next day it was more tasty then the earlier day reason being,bcoz of yogurt it became lil sour exactly like the normal dosa..So now if i know when i wanna eat these i try to make it lil earlier to get that sour taste..Otherwise Instant dosa is ready in 15 min :o)

Dosa Making:
Heat griddle; turn to medium heat and spread the dosa batter evenly as you do for your normal dosa.Spread a teaspoon of oil all around the dosa.Flip when the bottom site is done (turned golden brown). Wait for the other side to get cooked, about 1 minute.Pot some Chopped Onion on half side and cover with other half.
Serve it with sambhar and coconut chutney.

Variation:
1)U can add chopped Onion in batter itself.
2)To make it more healthy add some Veggie in batter like grated carrot,finely chopped Cabbage and whatever u can think of.
3)Instead of Filling chopped onion in b/w u can have poatato filling same as we use for Masala Dosa.
4)U can fill with Paneer Bhurji.
5)Mix Sliced Onion,paneer and, Coriander leaves and Chaat masala and use as filling.It too taste really good.

Enjoyy!!
