Oats Idly

I got this recipe from my sister today, and decided to try it out for dinner. I was pleasantly surprised that everyone in my family, excepting my son liked it. It was quick and easy to make. Oats idly is low in fat and filling too. Idly is known to be a healthy and low fat food. Oats idly is high in fiber. It tastes more like rava idly. If you like rava idly, you would definitely like Oats idly.

Ingredients:
1 C rolled oats
1/2 C cracked wheat or sooji rava
1/2 C curd
3/4 C water
1/2 t baking soda
salt to taste
grated carrot
1 T roasted cashew pieces
fresh cilantro, chopped

For seasoning:
mustard
minced green chili, or chili paste
curry leaves
asafoetida

Method:
1. Dry roast oats and cracked wheat separately. Allow to cool and powder them separately.
2. Beat the curd and mix it with water. Mix the powdered mixture with the curd. The batter should be slightly thick. Add salt, cashew, cilantro, and the seasoning. Cover and set aside for 15 minutes.
3. Fold in the carrot. Pour 1/4 cup of batter on greased idly plates. Steam in pressure cooker without the weight for 10 minutes.
4. Serve warm with coconut chutney.
