    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.

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup oats powdered
    • 1/4 cup toor dal
    • 1/4 cup chana dal
    • 1/4 cup moong dal
    • 1 big onion finely chopped
    • 2 red chillies
    • 4 pearls garlic
    • 1/4 inch piece ginger
    • 1/2 tsp fennel seeds
    • 1/2 tbsp coriander leaves fresh
    • salt to taste
    • oil to toast

    Instructions

    • 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.
    • In a wide mixing bowl, add the ground paste with powdered oats.
    • Add chopped onions, coriander leaves and required salt.
    • Add water to make it to a batter consistency. Keep aside for an hour.
    • Take 1 ladle full of batter for a adai.
    • 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 Oats Adai hot with coconut or tamarind chutney or idli podi of your choice.

    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.

      I'm liking all your recipes.

      I 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.

        May be if you grind it very coarsely and ur chopped onions is not very fine then you cannot spread it easily…..But adai is meant to be thick so dont worry about the thickness but if you want to spread it thin then grind the batter little fine..Hope this helps!
