I am not a big fan of oats. Oats are known for their health benefits because of its dietary fibers, iron and cholesterol reducing agents. After knowing that they have so many health benefits and is good for weight loss i started including oats in my diet from past few years. I can’t eat oats with milk and fruits .Over the years i have accepted oats in few dishes like Oats upma ,oats kozhukattai , oats dosa , oats idli etc .
making of oats dosa is almost like rava dosa and hardly people can know that it has oats in it .
Few Points to note while making instant oats dosa recipe :
- You can add any other veggie too to this like grated carrots / finely chopped capsicum etc.
- If you are a beginner you could find it little difficult to make thin crisp dosas. Also it could happen that you are finding it little difficult to remove dosa from the tawa. Those people can start with making the batter not too thin. That way dosas wont come thin and crisp . It will be soft and easy to handle. Don’t worry once you start getting a hold on it you can stat making the batter more thin and relish crispy crunchy dosas.
- If using iron tawa , pour the dough when it is very hot . You will get nice lace texture. If using non stick tawa, pour when medium hot . And for both cook in medium low flame . that way they will become crisp.
- Rubbing onion to the hot tawa imparts nice flavor to the dosa as well prevents dosa from sticking to the tawa. This tip holds good while making any dosa.
So lets now see how to make crispy oats dosa … are you ready ?? Here you go…

March 14, 2018 at 2:20 pmSkip in that case .. increase rice flour qty .. rava is added for extra crispiness
