Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled Oats
- 1 cup Rice Flour
- 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour maida
- 1 tsp Cumin Seeds
- 1 tsp Peppercorns black
- 1/2 tsp Asafoetida hing
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
Wet Ingredients
- 2 cup Water
Produce
- 2 Onions finely chopped, medium-sized
- 10-12 Curry Leaves
Cooking Oil
- 3 tbsp Oil for cooking
Instructions
Prepare the Oats
- Dry roast rolled oats in a pan or kadai over medium heat until lightly golden brown. Transfer to a plate and coarsely grind using a blender or food processor.
Prepare the Spice Blend
- Lightly crush cumin seeds and black peppercorns using a mortar and pestle or spice grinder.
Prepare the Vegetables
- Finely chop the onions and curry leaves.
Combine Ingredients
- In a large bowl, combine the ground oats, rice flour, all-purpose flour, asafoetida, crushed cumin and peppercorns, chopped onions, curry leaves, and salt. Mix well.
Make the Batter
- Gradually add water to the dry ingredients, mixing until a smooth, thin batter forms. The consistency should be similar to thick buttermilk. Let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes (optional).
Cook the Dosa
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or dosa pan over medium heat. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the hot griddle, spreading it thinly to form a circle. Drizzle a little oil around the edges.
Finish Cooking
- Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Serve hot with your favorite chutney and sambar or idli chili powder.
Optional Additions
- You can add finely chopped green chilies along with the onions and curry leaves for extra spice. You can also prepare a plain oats dosa by omitting the onions and green chilies. Feel free to substitute wheat flour for all-purpose flour.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Instant Oats Dosa
- For extra crispy dosas, dry roast the oats for a bit longer.
- Don't overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay. Overmixing can make the dosas tough.
- If the batter is too thick, add a little more water. If it's too thin, add a little more flour.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for a couple of days.
