Ingredients
Masala Filling
- 2 Potato and roughly mashed, boiled, peeled
- 1 Onion chopped
- 1 Chili Pepper chopped, green
- 5-6 Curry Leaves
- 1/4 tsp Mustard Seeds
- 1/4 tsp Chili Powder
- 1/2 tsp Sambar Powder
- 1 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
- 2 Tbsp Oil
Instructions
- Dry roast the oats in a pan for 2-3 minutes. This enhances their nutty flavor. Let the oats cool completely.
- Grind the cooled roasted oats into a fine powder using a grinder. Set aside.
- Grind the urad dal into a fine powder. Combine the oat powder and urad dal powder in a mixing bowl.
- Add salt and water to the dry ingredients. Whisk until a smooth, thin batter is formed. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes. This allows the oats and dal to absorb the water and create a light, airy texture.
- Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds and let them crackle. This adds a characteristic flavor to the masala.
- Add chopped onion, green chili, and curry leaves to the pan. Sauté over low heat until the onions soften and become translucent.
- Add salt, chili powder, sambar powder, and mashed potatoes to the pan. Mix well.
- Cook the potato masala for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Remove from heat.
- Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Pour a ladleful of dosa batter onto the hot pan, spreading it thinly in a circular motion.
- Cook the dosa for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to brown and crisp. Flip the dosa and cook for another minute.
- Place a spoonful of the prepared potato masala in the center of the dosa.
- Fold the dosa in half or roll it up. Serve hot with your favorite chutney.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For extra crispiness, let the prepared oats dosa batter rest for 10-15 minutes before cooking. This allows the oats to absorb water fully, resulting in a thinner, crisper dosa.
- If you prefer a gluten-free version, ensure your oats are certified gluten-free and avoid adding any wheat flour or semolina to the batter.
- Add a handful of finely chopped spinach, grated carrots, or beetroot directly to the batter for a colorful and nutrient-rich twist.
- To prevent the dosa from sticking, use a well-seasoned cast iron or nonstick pan, and wipe it with a cut onion dipped in oil between dosas for an even, non-stick surface.
Expert Tips
- For a richer flavor, roast the oats lightly before grinding them into flour. This adds a nutty depth to the dosa.
- Experiment with different spices in the batter. A pinch of cumin, coriander, or red chili powder can enhance the taste.
- Serve the oats dosa immediately for the best texture. They tend to soften over time.
Storage Instructions
- Leftover oats dosa can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Reheat them in a dry pan or microwave until warm and crispy.
