OATS IDLI

These days i'm kind of trying to make recipes with much healthier ingredients so i decided sneak in some oats in idli batter. Idli is considered very healthy since its steamed and common breakfast in south India.

Ingredients: Urad dal 1 cup Idli rava 2 cups Quaker rolled oats 1 cup

Soak urad dal for 4 hrs. Soak idly rava separately for 1 hr. Soak oats till they get soft (its fast usually compared to other ingredients). Grind soaked urad into paste, using sufficient water, just before its done add soaked oats(caution: Don't use too much water for soaking as there is chance of batter becoming too runny) and grind them together. Once done, remove smooth batter and add the Ssoaked rava by squeezing out extra water in it. Leave the batter to ferment overnight. When you wake up in the morning you can have steaming idlis for breakfast.To steam the idli batter, grease idli plates with oil/ghee and pour batter in them and put the plates in pressure cooker/idli steamer and cook for 10-15 mins on medium heat.Store the remaining batter in fridge up to 1 week.
