This is how Oats is used in my kitchen...

Tried and tasted by Nivedita

Hi All,

Without much introduction about oats and its preparations I will give the recipes.

First is 

Oats and Poha dosa:

Ingredients:
Oats - 1 cup
Thick or medium Poha - 1/2 cup
Salt to taste
Wheat flour - 2 tbsp
Fresh curds - 1/4 cup
Method:
Put the oats and poha in a grinder and make it a powder.
Add salt, wheat flour and  fresh curd. Add the powder and mix well.
Keep the tawa to heat.
Take big spoon of batter and spread it on tawa. 
Cover and cook both the sides.
Second is 
Oats and onion pakoda: Avery common snack which is posted in most of the blogs, here is my version(many of us follow the same recipe) which I love to make for a quick snack with a hot cup of tea or coffee.

Ingredients:
Oats - 1 cup
Gram flour -1 cup
Onion - 1 big, finely chopped
Curry leaves few
Fresh coriander - handful
salt to taste
Green chilly - 1 or 2 big, finely chopped
turmeric powder  a pinch
Hot oil - 1 tbsp


Oil to fry
Method :

Mix all the ingredients(Except oil to fry) in a bowl with little water to make thick batter.

Heat oil. 

When its very hot, reduce the flame and take small portion of the batter and put into the oil. Fry the pakodas till golden color. 

Remove on a kitchen tissue and serve hot.

Third one is 

Rava and oats Dosa

Ingredients:

Fine semolina or rava - 1 cup

Oats - 1/2 cup

Jowar atta - 2 tbsp

Salt to taste

Water to make the batter.

Cumin seeds - 1 tsp(optional)

Oil for each dosa - 1 tsp

(The onion kept aside, helps for dosa to spread properly, a very old tip from granny)

Method:

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl with more water to make it very thin batter.

Heat tawa. 

Spread or actually you should throw the batter on a very hot tawa to get thin dosas. YOU CAN NOT SPREAD THIS BATTER WITH A SPOON.

Put oil. 

Cook both the sides till crispy on  medium flame.

Serve with potato sabji.

The last one (As I have time limitations :-(  ) is
I know I have given 3 dosa recipes, but I feel its the best way to feed my kids the oats.
Oats uttappa:
Ingredients:

Idly batter - 1 cup( a day old is also fine, best way to finish the batter)

Oats - 1/4 cup

Onion - 1 big, finely chopped

Green chilly - 1 finely chopped

Curry leaves - few, chopped finelly

Cumin seeds - 1 tsp(optional)

Grated ginger - 1 tbsp(my daughter loves the taste, you can skip if you don't want)

Oil for each dosa

Method:

Again

Mix all in a bowl except oil.

Heat tawa, spread the batter to make thick uttappa.

Cover and cook on both the sides.

I enjoy it just like that with a spoon of ghee over it :-))))))'

Even though there are three recipes for dosas, each dosa tastes different.

I wanted to post few more recipes as oats is very common thing for me in the kitchen. 

But sorry, I am not able to manage the time to post the recipes.

Hopefully, will post few more in coming months.
