Instant Oats Idly

        I wanted to try instant oats idly for a long time. I used to make a version of this before,by adding a oats as major part in the rava idly,but when I saw the Instant oats idli at sharmis passions,they looked very tempting to try,more over,I wanted to try godumai rava idly too,and this recipe is a double treat for me as it combines both. I love this recipe very much and this tastes very similar to the usual rava idly,more healthy undoubtedly! I made variations a bit to suit my taste buds and convenience..

INGREDIENTS

Oats(I used quick cook)	1 cup
Wheat rava(godhumai rava)	1/2 cup
Curd	1/2 cup
Vegetables of ur choice	As needed
Water	1/2 cup+more if needed
salt	1 tsp(adjust per ur taste)
Eno fruit salt	1/2 tsp
Lemon Juice	from 1/2 of a lemon
Green chillies,finely chopped	2 nos
Chopped coriander leaves	1 tblsp
Chopped ginger	1 tsp

To Temper

Oil	11 tsp - tblsp
Mustard	3/4 tsp
Urad dal	1 tsp
Channa dal	1 tsp
Curry leaves	1 sprig

Method:

1. Dry roast Oats for 3 minutes in medium flame until nice aroma comes.Powder it coarsely after it cools down.

2. Heat a pan with oil and temper the items in the table ‘To temper’ ,followed by the veggies u decided to add and ginger,green chillies,coriander leaves. Give it a quick fry and add the wheat rava and fry for a minute in medium flame.
3. Transfer to mixing bowl,add salt,curd,lemon juice,water as required and make a batter,which consistency is similar to our idly batter.(neither too runny nor too thick). Mix well. Add Eno fruit salt just before making idlies and mix well. This will give you a frothy/airy batter which gives a soft spongy idly.

4. Pour the batter in a greased idly plate and cook just like you cook the regular idlies but for more time,say 10-15 minutes,until done.
5. Serve hot with any chutney of your choice.

Notes:

I used quacker quick cook oats,you can use any kind of oats and follow the same process I added carrot and sometimes also green peas,you can use the veggies of ur choice and its optional too. Add a pinch of cooking soda if u dont have eno fruit salt. U can use the regular rava also.. Adding ginger and coriander leaves gives a great flavour to the idlies. You can adjust the curd quantity.Accordingly adjust water quantity too.
