Oats dosa recipe. Crispy, delicious and healthy oats dosa for a quick Breakfast, brunch or dinner. I am sharing 2 methods of making oats dosa. The first one is a quick and easy method to make an instant oats dosa. The other one is using urad dal dosa batter or leftover dosa batter, definitely a healthier way to have oatmeal dosas. Both the recipes yield thin, crispy and delicious dosas.
Method 1 – Instant oats dosa
To make the oatmeal dosas instantly, along with oats we can use either rice flour, wheat flour or semolina. For those who like to refrain from consuming refined foods, semolina may not be a good choice. Only rice flour yields crispiest dosa, using half rice and half wheat flour also yield good dosas. To use only wheat flour, quick cook oats work best.

Powder oats to fine powder in a blender jar. Make sure the onions are minced or very fine chopped otherwise they remain uncooked.

- Also add curry leaves, ginger, green chilies, chopped onions and coriander leaves.
Then add curd (optional) and water.
- Mix all of them together to get a free flowing batter. If needed add more water to get the required consistency. The consistency must be similar to that of the rava dosa batter.
- When the dosa tawa or griddle is moderately hot enough, pour the batter all around the tawa.
How to make oats dosa
Grease a dosa tawa or griddle and heat it.
Stir the batter with a deep ladle and take a ladle full of batter. Just pour the batter across the pan. Do not spread the batter. Just pour it and fill up the gaps.
Sprinkle some ghee or oil on the edges. Cook the oats dosa on a medium heat until it turns golden on the base.
- When it is cooked you will see the edges begin to leave the tawa.
Flip the oats dosa and cook on the other side.
- Flip again and cook until the base is crisp.
- Serve oats dosa with any chutney.
