Oats Oothappam

Oats Oothappam, an ideal dish for breakfast with all necessary nutrients.  

Ingredients:-
---------------- 

Oats - 1 cups

Sooji Rava - 1/2 cup

Asafoetida / Hing - Big pinch
slightly soar curds/ Buttermilk - 1 cups 

Salt - according to the taste
Oil - Little

Toppings:-

-------------- 

Onions - 1/2 cup (finely chopped)
Green chili - 4 (finely chopped)

Carrot - 1/2 cup (grated)
Fresh Coriander leaves / Cilantro - (finely chopped)
Tomatoes - 1/2 cup (finely chopped)

 

Method :-
-------------

1. Soak the oats for 5 min in enough water. Grind it to a smooth batter with some sour yogurt.   

2. Take the oats mixture in a mixing bowl. Add Sooji Rava, hing, salt and make into a batter. Keep this aside for half hour.

3. Mix well, finely chopped onions,grated carrot and coriander in a bowl and keep it aside.

 

4. Ensure the batter is like Oothappam batter.If the mixture is bit hard then add some water in it.

5. Smear oil on a hot tawa(Iron cast / Non Stick), pour a ladle of batter and spread lightly like how we do for Oothappam's ( thicker than normal dosa's). Pour oil over and around the corners of the dosa. 

6. Quick Sprinkle the onion mixture all over the Oothappam and cover it with a lid and let it roast over medium high flame until the edges are golden brown in color.

7. Slightly press the  onion mixture all over the Oothappam with a spatula, pour some oil over it.

8. Turn to the other side and roast on the other side.

9. Remove the Oothappam from the tawa and serve directly on to the plate.

10. Serve the Oothappam piping hot with coconut chutney/peanut chutney or chutney of your choice.

Note:-

--------- 

1. The toppings are basically your choice,you can even add finely chopped tomatoes or colored bell peppers or finely chopped mushrooms.I just happened to use whatever was readily available at home.

2. In order to make the Oothappam's bit more chatpata sprinkle some Idli/Dosa podi (kaarappodi/Milagai podi) all over along with the other chopped vegetables.

3.I added a table spoon of Sooji rawa to make the Oothappam's crispier,it is optional to use it.

 

4. The batter turns very thick quickly,so keep checking the consistency and add water if required in order to get nice and crispy Oothappam's.
