Oats Paniyaram is a mild savoury & healthy version of Paniyaram made by steaming oats blended with tempered veggies. Oats Paniyaram with spicy chutney is a delightful combo for breakfast / dinner / snack. How to make Oats Paniyaram is featured in this post with step by step pictures.
I wanted to try Oats Paniyaram after trying oats kozhukattai, A year when I tried oats paniyaram , it became so sticky inside and I was not satisfied at all so didn’t post it here.I was little hesitant to try after that.After few months, I saw this recipe, I gave a try as I was confident with Ramyas recipes as most of the recipes I tried from hers were a hit at home….And as I guessed this oats paniyaram came out soo good, perfect as a snack for teatime.The paniyaram has a slightly crisp edge and soft inside, I loved the texture so much….I bet no one can find you have added oats in it…So what more do you need ?
You actually need no sidedish for this paniyaram but I served with coconut chutney .

Hi Sharmi, I wanted to do something interesting for evening. When I saw your blog, I,m very happy and tried immediately. Really it came out well and all liked so much. So crispy and tasty. Mainly instant no need to grind and wait for long. Thank you so much for the superb and easy to make recipe. You made my day…..

Thanks for the healthy recipe. Can we use old fashioned oats instead of the instant ones? Also is rice flour must or can we skip it?

Hi
Did you grind the oats. How much water did you add to the batter.
Thanks
Divya
Sharmilee J
No I added it as such only…its quick cooking oats so no need to grind.Water depends on the batter consistency, adjust accordingly
