Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled Oats
- 1/2 cup Semolina sooji
Vegetables

- 1/2 cup Onion finely chopped
- 2-3 Chilies finely chopped (adjust to your spice preference), green
- 1 tbsp Coriander finely chopped

Instructions
Prepare the Batter
- Mix rolled oats and semolina with buttermilk. Let the mixture rest for at least 30 minutes to allow the oats to soften.
Add Vegetables and Seasonings
- Add finely chopped vegetables (onions, green chilies, coriander, and any other vegetables of your choice), salt, and pepper to the batter. Mix well to combine.
Cook the Chilla
- Heat a lightly oiled non-stick tawa (griddle) over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot tawa for each chilla.
Flip and Serve
- Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip carefully when the edges start to lift and the top looks set. Serve hot with your favorite dip or chutney.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Oats Chilla
- Blend for extra smoothness: For a super-smooth batter, you can briefly blend the oat and semolina mixture before adding the vegetables.
- Adjust the consistency: If the batter is too thick, add a little more buttermilk; if it's too thin, add a spoonful of semolina or oats.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Make sure to leave enough space between each chilla on the griddle to ensure even cooking.
- Get creative with toppings: Experiment with different dips and chutneys, or add a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a drizzle of yogurt after cooking.

Hey Ruchi, just a small question are you using powdered oats flakes which you get in the market? The concept of no oil is quite interesting because if you are having an oil free breakfast it’s a kickstart. Thanks for the recipe.
This looks amazing! Thanks for sharing.
