Okay, now oatmeal dosa may not sound terribly yummy but it really isn't as bad as it sounds. My daughter used to eat oatmeal religiously everyday for breakfast until she started playschool recently. There just isn't enough time in the morning to cajole, distract and gently prod her to finish her bowl of oatmeal. Dosas, however, are an easy meal. Even if she is running around I can shove it into her mouth and what's more, she really likes dosa, which makes the job all the more easier. Yesterday, I had a flash of an idea. Why not add oatmeal powder to the dosa batter, eh?
Oatmeal dosa
Ingredients: (Makes 1 dosa)
1 tablespoon of oatmeal (ground finely in the chutney grinder or coffee grinder)
4 tablespoons of dosa batter
Method:
Add the oatmeal powder to the dosa batter and mix well. Pour it onto a hot gridle and spread to make a dosa.
NOTE:
Dosa batter recipe
Ingredients:
3 cups boiled rice
1 cup raw rice
1 cup urad dal
1 tablespoon methi (fenugreek) seeds
Method:
Soak the rice, urad dal and methi overnight (or 5-6 hours) in water in separate vessels. The next day morning drain off the water and grind the rice (boiled and raw rice) first and after transfering the rice batter into a vessel, grind the urad dal with the methi seeds. Mix the two batters and add desired amount of salt. Leave it overnight in a warm spot to ferment.
