Instant Oats idly | Gayathiri's Cookbook

Instant Oats Idly:

Oats are known for their health benefits. You can take it in any form like Porridge, Dosa, Kozhakattai (dumplings) or Upma. But combined with goodness of oats, sooji and veggies oats idlies are not only healthy but delicious and filling too.These Oats idlies are instant and require no fermentation time like other batters.
I used rolled oats for this recipe. But instant or quick oats also works.

Directions:

1. Dry roast 1.5 cups oats for 2 minutes. Grind it into a coarse consistency. (Skip this part if you have instant or quick oats)
