ABOUT Oats Idlis RECIPE

Despite being a Sindhi, Idli, the most popular South Indian dish, is a staple diet of our family. As it is, its healthy, easy to make and tastes awesome with piping hot Sambhar and spicy coconut chutney. My SIL and I have come up with its healthier version for the kids who fuss about eating healthy grains like oats, brown rice etc.

Ingredients Serving: 4

1 cup brown rice
1 cup Unpolished rice/ Ukda rice
1 cup Instant oats ( Patanjali )
1 cup Organic White Urad dal
Salt to taste
1 teaspoon ENO ( optional )
Water as required

Instructions

Soak both the varieties of rice together for 5 hours. Soak the Urad dal seprately for 5 hours. Wash the rice and urad dal after the soaking period. Grind the dal to a smooth batter using minimum water.
Grind the rice to a not too smooth batter but still not lumpy or coarse either. Add the oats to the rice while grinding it and add water for ease of grinding. Mix them all together in a big enough bowl.
Add salt to taste. Add water to the batter to adjust the consistency of batter , not too thick nor too thin. Cover the pan and keep for fermenting overnight. Pour water in the Idli vessel and bring to boil.
Grease the idli mould with 2 drops of oil and fill it with the batter, after giving one or two gentle whisk to the batter.Steam for 15 minutes. Serve hot with any chutney of your choice and piping hot sambhar.
