Instant Oats Idli | Oats Steamed Cakes

Last updated September 11, 2016. Originally posted March 14, 2015 By Jyothi Rajesh 6 Comments

Break fast is the most important past of the meal, and it’s believed that eating a healthy, heavy and balanced breakfast is very important. Oats is one of the best choice for break fast to kick start your day in a healthy way. If you are some one like me who finds it boring to eat oats porridge, then our Indian-ized oatmeal avatars like oats upma, oats dosa, oats idli, oats pongal, oats bisi bele bath, … will excite you. There are so many varieties that you can try and make your break fast interesting and highly nutritious.

This easy oats idli can be prepared in a jiggy and pair it with some spicy tomato chutney or sambar, it’s heaven. You can add grated vegetables to the recipe which makes it even more nitritious.

Using oats is a little tricky due to it’s sticky texture. Roasting oats will help to get rid of the sticky texture to some extent. Kick start your day with healthy oats idli.

Water – ½ cup
Salt to taste

For Tempering-
Oil/ghee – 2 tspn

5. Add curds, salt, and mix well. Add just enough water(if required) to make it to a thick batter. The consistency should be slightly loose than a idli batter. Set it aside for 10-15 mins. Next add eno salt and mix again.

6. Grease idli plates with oil and pour the batter into each depression of the idli plate.

7. Steam for 13-15 minutes. Serve warm with chutney of your choice.

MY Notes-
1. Using oats in idli recipe can be little tricky due to it’s sticky texture. Roasting it well will remove some of the stickyness.
2. You can use same measurement of cooking soda instead of eno salt/fruit salt.
3. Adding grated vegetables like carrots, cabbage, or even capsicum will enhace the taste and nutrient values of the idlis.
4. Butter milk can be substituted with water while preparing batter.
5. You can even mix all the dry ingredients of the mix and store it in air tight container in fridge for about few months.

        Hello, can you please suggest a replacement for rave to make it gluten free.

        Remind you I haven’t tried replacing rava in this recipe. So i’m not 100% sure of the results. Try using corn rava for gluten free options. Also any millet ground coarsely can be used!
