What are Oats Idli?

Oats Idli is soft, fluffy and light Indian breakfast made with oats and rice flour. They are super healthy as they don’t have any wheat flour in them, so you can relish them for breakfast without guilt.

Mix the oats, curd, oil and salt with warm water to form a thick batter.

Add the oats, curd, oil and salt to a large mixing bowl. Mix well.
Take about 2 cups of warm water in another bowl and slowly add this to the oat mixture while mixing continuously. This way, you will be able to form a thick batter out of it.
After you are done mixing everything together, allow your batter to rest for 2 hours so that the flours can absorb all the liquid present in it.

Cover and set aside for 2 hours.

Cover and set aside for 2 hours. The batter will rise, froth and bubble up, which is normal. This fermentation process helps break down complex carbohydrates into simple sugars, making them easier for the body to digest. Forgot about your idli batter? No worries! Leave it overnight in the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for an hour before cooking it in a steamer or pressure cooker.

Add sufficient water so that the batter is of pouring consistency.

Add sufficient water so that the batter is of pouring consistency. If you add too much water, then your idli will not be fluffy and spongy.
The batter should be of pouring consistency, if it is too thick, it will not pour into the moulds, and if it is too thin, then it will spill out of the moulds.

Grease idli plates with little oil, pour the batter into the prepared moulds and steam for 10-12 minutes.

Grease idli plates with little oil, pour the batter into the prepared moulds and steam for 10-12 minutes.
While steaming, check if the idlis are cooked from inside by pressing them gently with your fingers. It is done if it bounces back without making a dent in it.
Remove them carefully from the moulds using a knife or spoon.

Serve hot with roasted peanuts chutney or coconut chutney.

For coconut chutney, grind together chopped coconut, mustard seeds and cumin seeds with little water to a coarse paste
Now you can serve this oats idli hot with either roasted peanuts chutney or coconut chutney as per your choice

Oats idli is a healthy and wholesome breakfast that you can easily make at home. The recipe uses oats along with rice flour, so it’s gluten-free and vegan. Let’s get cooking!

Ingredients:

1 cup rolled oats (quick-cooking)
1 cup brown rice flour (or regular rice flour)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
One teaspoon salt

Method: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, rice flour, baking soda and salt. You use an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes until well combined. Shape the mixture into 12 balls about 2 inches wide each, then flatten each ball into a patty using your hands or a rolling pin. (If you want thinner pancakes, simply divide the dough into smaller portions.)

Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat while forming patties or flattening dough balls. (Alternatively, use ghee instead of melted butter). Cook patties until they are golden brown on both sides – flipping once or twice during cooking depending on your preference for crispness – about 5 minutes per side, the total time needed before serving with syrup or chutney if desired!
