Ingredients
For the Oats Idli Batter
- 1 cup Rolled Oats
- 200 gm Yogurt curd; use plain, full-fat yogurt for best results
- 1/2 cup Carrot grated
- 1 tbsp Coriander dhania, finely chopped
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda eno fruit salt
- 1 Chili Pepper finely chopped, green
For the Tempering
- 1 tbsp Oil vegetable or coconut oil
- 1/2 tsp Mustard Seeds rai
- 1/2 tsp Gram black, split black gram
- 1/4 tsp Chickpea split chickpeas
Instructions
Prepare the Oats
- Dry roast the rolled oats in a pan over medium heat until lightly browned and fragrant. Allow to cool completely, then grind into a fine powder using a blender or food processor.
Make the Tempering
- Heat oil in a small pan. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter. Add urad dal and chana dal and sauté until lightly browned.
Combine Ingredients
- In a large bowl, combine the ground oats powder, yogurt, grated carrot, chopped green chili, and salt. Mix well to form a smooth batter. Add the prepared tempering and stir to combine.
Rest and Add Eno
- Let the batter rest for at least 15 minutes. Just before steaming, add the Eno fruit salt and gently mix. Do not overmix.
Steam the Idlis
- Grease your idli steamer plates lightly with oil. Sprinkle chopped coriander leaves in each mold. Fill each mold about ¾ full with the batter. Steam the idlis for approximately 8-10 minutes, or until cooked through.
Serve and Enjoy
- Once cooked, let the idlis cool slightly before carefully removing them from the molds. Serve hot with sambar and chutney of your choice.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Oats Idlis
- For extra fluffiness, whisk the yogurt before adding it to the batter.
- Adjust the consistency of the batter by adding a little water if it's too thick. The batter should be slightly pourable, like pancake batter.
- Don't overmix the batter after adding the Eno fruit salt, as this can make the idlis tough.
- If you don't have an idli steamer, you can use a microwave-safe dish and steam the idlis in the microwave for 3-4 minutes on high, but monitor closely.
