Recipe: Easy Oats Idli

Take your morning oatmeal game to the next level. Idli is a savory breakfast cake and a common type of breakfast enjoyed in South Indian homes. This version is made with several types of lentils.

The lentils give this breakfast dish a surprising depth, plus lots of protein and fiber to keep you satisfied all day. Spices like green chillies and turmeric also add a layer of warming flavor, making this especially perfect for a cool fall or winter day.

 

Ingredients

2 cups oats

1/2 liter curd

1 Tbsp mustard seeds

1 Tbsp urad dal (also known as split black lentils, available at most ethnic grocers)

1/2 Tbsp channa dal (yellow lentils, available at most ethnic grocers)

1/2 Tbsp oil

2 tsp finely chopped green chilies

1 cup grated carrots

2 Tbsp finely chopped coriander

1/2 Tbsp turmeric powder

2 Tbsp salt

 

Method

 

  1. Roast the oats at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes or until the oats are golden brown. Remove from the oven, let them cool then blend them in a blender into oat flour.
  2. In a saucepan, heat the oil and saute the mustard seeds, urad dal and channa dal for five minutes. Then, add the carrots, coriander, green chilies and turmeric powder. Saute for a minute.
  3. Pour the hot mixture into a mixing bowl and fold in the oats and curd to create a batter. Pour into a steamer basket and steam for 15 minutes or until the batter is cooked through. Serve alone or with chutney and enjoy!
