Usually my Sunday breakfast consists of dosa/uthapam. I have already posted several instant dosa recipes – Oats Wheat Dosa (With Avocado) and Oats Mixed Vegetable Utthapam. This week I wanted to change up the routine a bit 🙂 I tried paniyaram/paddu. Again with instant batter 🙂 I have an oats buckwheat paniyaram recipe already on the blog. This time I tried a rava oats paniyaram! The texture/consistency is a bit different than the wheat one because adding wheat makes the paddu a little dense. The wheat ones are also definitely more filling 🙂
Most people assume that oats is boring because you cannot prepare anything other than oatmeal! That is definitely not true I think 🙂 With a little bit of creativity you can get everyone in your family to eat oats! Oats have a lot of fiber that keeps you full longer – hence it is ideal for breakfast. With all the flavors in this paddu no one will realize there is oats in it! 🙂 I definitely liked this recipe because it is so simple to prepare. Within 10 minutes you have a healthy dish ready!
Rava Oats Paddu/Paniyaram (Instant)
Ingredients
-
2/3 cup semolina/rava
-
1/3 cup oats
- Salt to taste
- 4 tbsp yogurt
-
1-2 green chillies (or to taste)
-
1 small onion
-
1 carrot
-
1 tbsp oil
Method
-
Chop the onions and chillies finely. Peel and grate the carrots.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine rava, oats flour and salt with yogurt. Add water little at a time and mix well till you get a thick batter. Mix the chopped onions, chillies and grated carrot into the batter. Let this rest for 5-10 minutes.
-
Heat the paddu pan. Pour 1 tbsp of batter into each portion. Drizzle a little oil around the edges of each of the paddus and let them cook on slow heat. (These take a little while to cook because the batter is a little dense)
-
Once the underside of the paddus turn golden brown, flip them over and let them cook on the other side.
-
Once both sides are cooked, the paddus are ready to be served with your favorite chutneys
