Oats is a neural and basic ingredient that gives it the advantage to be added to any food making it healthier. Usually my kids don’t like the authentic Quaker oats with milk, and since they love idli, I thought of sneaking some oats into it, and make it more nutritional. Oats idli really takes away the overnight soaking of rice, and much of the elaborate prep work associated with the traditional recipe. I can think of making it while my kids are still in bed, and get it served on the table by the time they come for breakfast. It’s that fast and easy.

I don’t know about you, I like it quiet and serene in the morning, with some light music and hot cup of tea. So I don’t like elaborate cooking when it comes to breakfast, with a lot of sounds and crackling spices and the pungency of aromas. I had some oats ground beforehand, and can just use it readily, in what I call, peaceful cooking. Serve this with nariyal ki chutney or tomato sauce

I have made many idli recipes which you can certainly try:

  • Bread Idli
  • Red velvet idli
  • Rava Idli

Oats Idli is a very healthy South Indian Recipe which can be served as breakfast.

 

Idli is a popular South Indian breakfast item, so much so that it is THE most iconic thing about the region that makes it world famous, along with Dosa and Sambar. This is really good to taste, and the perfect salty, spongy cake like savor, its made with a batter of mainly rice and urad dal. Meanwhile, Oats is highly nutritious; not only are they the powerhouse of vegan protein, they are also a rich source of soluble fibers, that helps reduce cholesterol and is good for diabetic patients as well. Oats idli is ideal for weight watchers, and vegans, to enjoy a good meal that fulfils the appetite not only for healthy food, but also tasty food.

I am using eno in the batter, to make the idlis spongier and puffed up. Doing this is optional; whereas, if you do use it then be careful, and add the eno right before putting the batter to the mould and don’t whip the batter after adding it, just mix gently. You can store the batter for later use, but never store with the eno mixed, then it is likely to ferment. Add eno only to the batter you are going to steam and add it immediately before steaming.

 

That been explained, this recipe is easiest to cook for an idli. Its really tasty and wholesome, 2-3 idlis in the morning is heavy enough to keep you energized till lunch. Enjoy with some coriander or mint chutney.

With recipes like this, gourmet cuisine takes globalization to new heights, beyond boundaries and prejudices, winning people’s hearts beyond any propaganda. That’s what I call, a great invention of civilization.
