Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Instructions:
-
Prepare the batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients – oatmeal, wheat flour, semolina, yogurt, water, chopped green chilies, cumin powder, crushed black pepper, fresh coriander, and salt. Mix everything thoroughly and set the mixture aside for about 10 minutes to allow it to settle. This resting time helps the ingredients combine well.
-
Check the consistency: After 10 minutes, check the consistency of the batter. If needed, add a little more water to adjust the thickness. The batter should be of a pourable consistency, similar to pancake or dosa batter.
-
Heat the tawa: Heat a flat tawa (griddle) on medium heat and add a little oil to grease it. Allow the oil to heat up slightly.
-
Cook the dosa: Pour a ladle of the batter onto the hot tawa. Using the back of the ladle, spread the batter in a circular motion to form a round dosa. Drizzle a little oil around the edges of the dosa.
-
Cook both sides: Allow the dosa to cook on medium heat until the edges turn golden and crisp. Once the first side is cooked, flip it over and cook the other side until it turns golden brown as well.
-
Serve hot: Once both sides are cooked to perfection, remove the dosa from the tawa and serve it immediately while hot.
Serving Suggestion:
Oatmeal dosa pairs beautifully with coconut chutney and a hot cup of filter coffee for a classic South Indian breakfast experience. It’s not only delicious but also a wholesome option that’s full of protein, fiber, and healthy fats.
Enjoy your savory oatmeal dosa, a quick, nutritious, and satisfying meal perfect for breakfast or dinner!
