Oats Uttapam

Instant oats uttapam is a healthy breakfast loaded with the goodness of nutritional vegetables. I make these very often at home as it helps in weightloss as well, due to the high fibre content in oats, we tend to feel full for longer period of time. Use any seasonal vegetables for topping either chopped or grated for extra crunch and nutrition.

Preparation time: 30 min.
Cooking time: 10 min.
Type: Breakfast
Serves: 3-4

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cup oats
• 1 cup semolina (sooji/rava)
• 1 cup curd (dahi)
• 1 cup water
• salt to taste
• 1 cup diced vegetables (onions, tomatoes, capsicum, carrot, cabbage)
• 10-12 curry leaves (finely chopped)
• 2 green chillies (finely chopped)
• handful of coriander leaves (finely chopped)
• oil as needed

METHOD:

1. Grind oats to a fine powder in a mixer grinder.
2. In a bowl, mix together ground oats, semolina, curd and water. Cover and leave for 30 min.
3. Add salt to taste and mix well.
4. Heat a non-stick pan, put 1 tsp oil and grease well.
5. Pour a ladle full of batter and lightly spread it in a round shape.
6. Sprinkle chopped vegetables and curry leaves, gently press with a wooden spoon. Put few drops of oil on top.
7. Cover with a lid and let it cook for a min.
8. Once the base is nicely browned, flip it and let it cook for a while.
9. As it gets nice and crisp, serve hot with any chutney or sambhar.

Note:

• Adjust the quantity of water in the batter depending upon the water absorbed by semolina. It should be of pouring consistency.
• You may use grated carrot or cabbage for topping as well.
