Tamil Nadu dosa variant — oats dosa made with oats dosa.

Ingredients

Method

  1. Make oats dosa batter: Mix 1 cup quick oats with half cup rice flour, 2 tbsp semolina, 1 tsp cumin seeds, 1 tsp ginger-green chilli paste and salt.
  2. Add yogurt and water: Add half cup yogurt and 2-2.5 cups water to make a very thin batter — thinner than regular dosa. Rest 10 minutes as oats absorb water.
  3. Check consistency: Stir and check — add more water if batter has thickened. Should be very thin and pourable.
  4. Heat tawa: Heat a flat tawa on medium-high heat. Reduce to medium.
  5. Oil the tawa: Drizzle half tsp oil and spread evenly.
  6. Pour batter: From a height pour a ladleful in a circular motion — do not spread. Oats dosa should be lacy.
  7. Add oil: Drizzle half tsp oil on top and around edges.
  8. Cook without flipping: Cook on medium heat 3-4 minutes until the base is crispy and golden.
  9. Remove carefully: The lacy structure is delicate — use a wide flat spatula.
  10. Serve immediately: Oats dosa becomes soft quickly. Serve with coconut chutney and sambar.
