I have a big packet of Quacker Oats that do not know what to do with; as this is that one thing not a single person in house agrees to eat (including me). I got it via a visiting relative, now it is a big packet, I absolutely do not want to waste. Therefore, up my sleeves, here goes the ULTIMATE oats recipe!
Instant poha oats dosa is an unconventional variety of this popular and highly customizable South Indian dish. I am writing this recipe with great pleasure, because it has been tried and succeeded, as everyone in my house just loved it.
Making dosa needs some culinary skills, but this recipe is going to make your job a lot easier, as there is no major prep work. I could use the oat alone to make the batter but using it together with poha and suji will give it a better texture, and of course, make it healthier. In addition, I would suggest grinding the oats and suji along with the poha for a smooth batter. I am not adding any stuffing but you can give it a good masala dosa with potato or vegetable filling.
This recipe is healthy and wholesome, and the best part is, being a confluence of all the healthiest cereals, it is enriched with essential nutrients. You can even include this as a weight management diet.
The trickiest part of this recipe is getting the right consistency of the batter; you need a smooth paste with no lumps. The consistency should be that if you stir your spoon, the batter should move smoothly, but the moment you stop your spoon the movement will stop. Not too thick, not runny either. Also, if you are storing the batter, which you can, then cover the utensil, and refrigerate it. In that condition, the batter will thicken further. instead of adding water to loosen it, take it out of the fridge, and keep it in room temperature, then stir it, and then, if required, add a small amount of water.

Another part is the temperature of your tawa. It should not be hot like you are frying it. It is okay to be as hot as a cup of tea, drizzle a small amount of oil, and if required then add more. Use non-stick tawa, if you are a beginner, and avoid iron tawas.
Serve this dosa hot, and with some chutney. You will not need another dish to complete your meal.

Note:
- You can also roast the oats and then grind it into fine powder
- You can keep the leftover batter at room temperature for a couple of hours. If keeping longer, refrigerate the batter. Batter might thicken after a while as rava absorbs the water so add water accordingly to get the right consistency.
- If you are using sour curd, then add ½ of cup and add more water for right consistency.
- You can also add finely chopped onion to make dosa.
- If your pan is too hot just drizzle some water all over the pan and wipe the pan with cloth, this process helps in cooling the pan.
- If you have taken Iron tawa then sprinkle some water to check the temperature of tawa before making dosa.
