Oats Dosa - A healthy alternative.

Things required:

3 cups - plain oats (I used Quaker oats)
1/2 cup - wheat flour
1/2 cup - all purpose flour
2 or 3 - teaspoons Jeera or Cumin seeds
1 or 2 - teaspoons Crushed black pepper.
1/2 cup - Butter milk or curd
Salt to taste


Preparation:

1) Soak oats for around 1 hour until it gets soft.
2) Grind all ingredients listed above along with the soaked oats in a blender.
3) Make into a nice batter, not too thick or loose. Consistency like a dosa batter.
4) Pour batter in hot greased tava and make the dosas.
5) Have it with your favorite chutney or dosai molagai podi. Enjoy!



Variations: Add finely chopped onions and green chillis to make like uthappam. :)

Tip: Do not try to make the first dosa thin. Once the first dosa is made, you can make thin crispy dosas thereafter.
