Oats masala dosa | Oatmeal dosa with potato stuffing

Oats masala dosa recipe – Masala dosa, a crispy thin crepe made of fermented lentils and rice batter, is one of the favorite food of south Indians. Restaurants and tiffin centers serve so many varieties of masala dosas like mysore masala dosa, rava masala dosa, onion rava masala dosa etc. My first trial with oats masala dosa just happened on a day when I had excess potato masala after making aloo kathi roll for the kids’ school box.

I made it and shared my idea with the kids when they were back home. They were very excited to try it and drove me to make it today for their after school snack. If you are a small family of 2 to 3 this can also be made for breakfast easily. You can serve this with a chutney and tiffin sambar.

How to make oats masala dosa

1. To make the potato stuffing you will have to visit this link on potato masala recipe. You have to use the same amount of ingredients mentioned to make the stuffing for 4 to 5 servings. Once the curry is ready set it aside.

2. Powder ½ cup of oats in a mixer to fine powder. Transfer that to a mixing bowl. I used organic rolled oats.

3. Add salt and ½ cup of rice flour or wheat flour. You can also use ¼ cup rice flour and ¼ cup semolina or atta. If you are trying to avoid rice and semolina in your diet, you can just use whole wheat flour.

4. Add ¼ cup curd and 1 ¼ to 1 ½ cup water. You can also skip curd and substitute with plain water. But curd adds flavor and color to the dosas.

5. Add 2 tbsps finely chopped onions, 2 green chilies (skip for kids), grated ginger, cumin, curry leaves and coriander leaves.

6. The batter must be thin and runny like the one we make for rava dosa. You may need little more water, it depends on the kind of oats.

7. Grease your pan with few drops of oil and heat it well. When it is hot enough, pour the batter to make a roundel.

8. Add butter , ghee or oil.

9. When cooked the edges begin to leave the pan, flip it and cook on the other side as well.

10. Flip it back. Place the potato masala on one half of the dosa.

11. Allow the dosa to toast till golden and crisp. Fold it and transfer to a serving plate.

Serve hot with a chutney.
