Oats n Moong dal Adai

Oats adai is one of the quick & healthy breakfast menu for busy mornings.  I use oats instead of rice to make a healthier version and almost carb free and it is loaded with fiber-rich oats, dal and vegetables.  No fermentation is required and can sprinkle some powdered flax seeds over the adai while cooking.  Taste great with coconut chutney !!!

Ingredients :

1. Oats - 1/2 cup
2. Moong dal - 2 cups
3. Red chilly - 3 nos
4. Cumin seeds - 1 tsp
5. Onion - 1 no
6. Coriander leaves
7. Carrot, grated - 1/4 cup
8. Green chillies - 2 no
9. Curry leaves - 1 tbsp
10. A pinch of hing
11. Salt to taste
12. Oil as required

Method :

1.   Soak dal in water for 2 hours and Oats for 20 mins.  Drain and grind them to coarse paste along with cumin seeds & red chilly.  Add enough water & salt while grinding.  The batter should resemble like a idly batter.

2.   Add finely chopped onion, green chillies, hing, curry leaves, grated carrot and coriander leaves to the batter.  

3.   Heat the skillet,  pour a ladle full of batter in the centre of the pan and swirl around to form a circle.

4.  Drizzle some oil around & over the adai and cook for 2 to 3 mins on either sides.

Serve with chutney.
