▢
Grind the oats to a fine powder and keep it aside. Wash and soak the dals (chana dal, tur dal, moong dal and urad dal) for an hour. Drain the water and grind the dals along with red chillies, asafoetida, curry leaves, ginger to a coarse paste.
▢
In a mixing bowl, add the ground dal paste, powdered oats, turmeric powder and chopped onions. Add water and bring to a medium batter consistency. Add chopped coriander leaves and salt and mix well. Rest this batter for an hour.
▢
Heat a dosa tawa or griddle on a medium flame. Smear oil and spread one ladleful of this batter to a thick circular shape. Make a hole in the centre of the adai. Pour oil on the sides and in the centre.

Once cooked, flip on the other side and cook till it is crisp and golden brown in colour. Serve oats dosa with jaggery or coconut chutney or any chutney of your choice.
