Oats is my fav and that justifies the number of oats recipes in this space :) Adai is my fav and can have it even daily if given. So when I saw oats adai, I instantly tried it and loved it so much. Lentil with oats is a healthy and tasty combination. I didnt wait for any chutney for sidedish just digged in with idli podi and tomato sauce :)

Oats Adai Recipe - Ingredients
Recipe Reference : Flavours & Tastes
- Powdered oats - 1 cup
- Toor dhal - 1/4 cup
- Chana dhal - 1/4 cup
- Moong dhal - 1/4 cup
- Onion - 1 big finely chopped
- Red chillies - 2
- Garlic - 4 pearls
- Ginger - 1/4 inch piece
- Fennel seeds - 1/2 tsp
- Fresh coriander leaves - 1/2 tbsp
- Salt - to taste
- Oil - to toast

Method:
1. Wash the dhals and soak it for an hour. Then drain water and grind the dhals with red chillies, garlic, ginger and fennel seeds to a coarse paste.

2.In a wide mixing bowl, add the ground paste with powdered oats. Add chopped onions, coriander leaves and required salt.

3. Add water to make it to a batter consistency. Keep aside for an hour. Take 1 laddle full of batter for a adai.

4.Heat a dosa tawa and spread the batter like we make for dosa. Drizzle oil and cook on both the sides till golden brown.

Serve hot with coconut or tamarind chutney or idli podi of your choice.

My Notes:
- I have even made this instant without leaving the batter for an hour. It still comes out soft and nice. But as our traditional adai method needs resting time, I have given that also.
- You can make the adai a bit thinner and make it crisp too.
- Just powder the oats raw, no need to roast it.
















what a healthy breakfast option this is Sharmi ! bookmarking and will try ASAP :-)

Wow what a healthy breakfast,oats is something I would like to incorporate in everything,this is an excellent way to do it...Looks enticing...soft,crisp and mildly spicy....
ReplyDeletei tried this recipe and it came out really well.Total family enjoyed this adai...thank u so much for sharing this recipe....
ReplyDeleteThanks for this awesome recipe. If I need to pack it for my kids' lunchbox, I won't have enough time in the morning for soaking, so is it okay that I soak and grind the previous night, and leave the batter in the fridge overnight before I make the adais in the morning?
ReplyDelete@Anonymous : Yes you can try that...but havent tried it myself but it shouldnt be a problem.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sharmi for the quick reply, will try and let you know
ReplyDeleteYes, tried it yesterday and it came out just fine. Packed it to work and it was very filling. A perfect lunchbox recipe! Keep going! Hope to see more lunchbox recipes on your blog.
ReplyDeleteOnion is not mentioned in the Ingredients
ReplyDeleteYes missed it out, now added :)
ReplyDeleteJust came across your pankake recipe. Looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteAs I am not familiar with the indian terms, it there somewhere I could have translation of those terms? Thanks
@Anonymous : Please let me know which of the indian terms, will try my best to translate it or try google translate :)

Too good a recipe to miss out. I stay in Dubai alone and my family is in India. I book marked your web site for ever. Very helpful in preparing food with minimum fuss. Thank you very much for producing such a bouquet of recipes. By the way, I made Oats Adai, and it is soft and tasty.
ReplyDeleteIn traditional adai, we do not add fennel seeds right. Is it OK to avoid fennel seeds with oats adai?
ReplyDelete@DeviRaman : We usually add fennel even in normal adai....np you can skip that too
ReplyDeleteI'm liking all your recipes.
ReplyDeleteI did an alteration in oats adai. I used
Oats 1 cup
Green moong dal 1/2 cup (pachai payuru)
Toor dal 1/2 cup
moong dal 1/4 cup (pasi paruppu)
Channa dal urad dal 1 tbsp each
Instead of making the oats as powder I grinded them with the soak dal
I'm glad I finally found a eggless baking recipes.Once again I want to mention all your recipes are amazing and photography is excellent.
