Hello everyone sorry for not posting for a while I was in Bangalore for my brother's wedding. Enjoyed the scrumptious food along with the festivities. While there I discovered that Oats Dosa has become quite popular and I was asked by many to post the recipe as I had tried it out before courtesy Show Me the Curry. Here it is with an addition ... Enjoy :)
Dosa is a major part of a South Indian's diet and has also become a favourite in non south-indian homes. Here is a healthier version to making dosa. Oats is said to help cut cholesterol and will not change the taste of the dosa batter and the dosa comes out crispy. Enjoy this oats dosa with traditional coconut chutney, onion chutney or chutney puddi or even make Oats Masala Dosa :)
