#healthyjunior - Do try this healthy version of idli with oats. Laden with fibre, they are a perfect nutritious breakfast menu. I have added some chopped mint and fried onions to make them more appetizing and appealing. You can go ahead and add any grated veggie of your choice.

Steps

1

Heat oil in a pan and temper with mustard seeds. After it stops spluttering, add the urad dal, green chili (opt) and asafoetida. Saute for a few seconds.
2

Add the semolina and fry on a medium flame for a minute or till you get a nice aroma coming through. Keep aside to cool down.
3

Add the fried semolina to the powdered oats. To it add the fried onions, chopped mint leaves, salt to taste and red chili flakes (opt). Combine everything well.
4

Add required quantity of buttermilk to make a batter. Just before steaming, add the eno fruit salt and some more water if needed and mix well.
5

Ladle the batter into greased idli moulds and steam for 12-15 minutes. When cool enough to handle, demould them and serve them with coconut chutney and sambar.
