Masala oats idli is easy and healthy breakfast dish. It is mainly made up of fiber rich oats and rava (semolina). Serve them hot with sambar or coconut chutney.
Idli is our favourite breakfast dish 😛 Days when I forget about idli batter I make instant idli. I love making different dishes from oats as eating oats porridge daily is boring 😛 This recipe is one such attempt.
You can use any of these 3 oats to make these masala oats idli (rolled oats will be the best) -Rolled oats: The most common variety of oat. Quick oats: These are processed even further, simply rolled into even thinner flakes to cook faster. Instant oats: These are the most heavily processed.
(NOTE- As I used baking soda and green chillies in this recipe, I didn’t gave it to my toddler to eat. )
