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.

Ingredients (1 cup = 240ml )

Ingredients for oats dosa

  • ½ cup oats (rolled or instant)
  • ½ cup rice flour (or ¼ rice flour and ¼ wheat flour or semolina)
  • Salt as needed
  • 2 green chili chopped
  • ½ tsp cumin or jeera
  • 2 tbsps onions minced or very fine chopped (optional)
  • 1 sprig curry leaves chopped
  • ½ tsp ginger crushed or minced
  • ¼ cup curd or yogurt (optional, refer notes)
  • 1 ¼ to 1½ cups water
  • Oil as needed

Instructions

Preparation for oats dosa

  • Powder oats to fine powder in a blender jar. Make sure the onions are minced or very fine chopped otherwise they remain uncooked.
  • Transfer to a mixing bowl along with salt, rice flour and cumin.
  • 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.

Notes

Curd lends a unique aroma and deep golden color to the dosa. You can also skip it.

    Hi Swasthi..

    Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe. I have tried it and the dosas came out so well. This recipe comes in handy when we don’t have idli, dosa batter and don’t feel like eating poha, Upma etc.

      Hi Suneetha,
      Yes it is a good idea and dosas made this way don’t take much time to cook. But the instant ones take time. Thanks for trying

    Hi Swasthi..
    thanks for sharing your recipes. Just now only I saw your page, so didn’t try yet and will let you know the feed back soon?. Also I would like you ask you about your griddle, which you make dosas, looks like Lodge. I too have similar one but these days dosas do not not turning well. Any idea why or can you suggest me how to use it, if you don’t mind. (I am having an electrical ceramic hob).

    Thanks in advance.

      Welcome Renju
      Yes it is a lodge griddle. It was all good till last year. I went on a 6 weeks trip during which it wasnt used. When I returned tried to use it, the dosas began to stick and could not pull them out. I washed carefully and reseasoned it by baking for 1 hour in oven. Nothing worked out. Out of 5 to 6 dosas one comes out good. So i stopped using completely.
