The Instant Oats Dosa, as the name suggests, does not require you to grind and ferment a batter. Just mix together oats and a couple of other ingredients with curds, throw in some onions, green chillies et all for flavour, and the batter is ready to cook.
To make instant oats dosa batter, in a deep bowl, take 1/2 a cup oats flour. It is available in market in pre-packaged form but, if you don’t find one or wish to make oats flour at home, simply roast the rolled oats or quick cooking oats till light brown and aromatic. Cool it completely and blend in a mixer jar to a smooth powder. Further, add rice flour which will provide crispiness to the dosa also, add semolina and curd. Add finely chopped onions. You can also add curry leaves, ginger, cashew nuts and cumin seeds in this batter. Other vegetables like coconut, carrot, capsicum can also be used. Add green chillies, coriander and season it. Mix it well by adding water and make sure the batter is lump free. If you are not making the dosas immediately, the rava will absorb the water so, adjust the consistency and then make theinstant oats rava dosa.
If the batter is too thin, it will surely stick to the pan and form lumpy oats dosa. In that case, add 1-2 tbsp of rice flour to the batter. To make the dosa, take a tava, sprinkle little water and wipe it with a tissue or a cloth, pour a ladle full of batter and spread it in a circular motion. Apply oil or ghee on the edges of it and cook till golden brown. Serve instant oats dosa immediately with green chutney or coconut chutney.

Instant Oats Dosa recipe with step by step photos

- Simply put, the Dosa is a pancake. One of the most popular snacks in all of South India, over time it has become popular all over the country and globally too. Dosa is made by spreading a batter on a hot griddle and cooking it with a little oil, or sometimes even no oil, till it turns golden brown and crisp. While most people use a non-stick tava these days, you can also opt for a traditional iron tava, which will enhance the taste as well as give you a nutrient boost. The basic Dosa batter is made of rice and urad dal. The ingredients are soaked, ground into a fine batter and allowed to ferment for 8-10 hours. The Dosa can be enhanced by topping the dosa with spice powders like the Idli Milagai Podi or other ingredients like roasted coconut, chopped onions, chopped tomatoes, etc., while it is still cooking.
- Slight variations in the batter or cooking procedure yield marvelously different results. Take for example the famous Benne Dosa of Karnataka. A little puffed rice is used while making the batter, the dosa is cooked with butter, and only on one side without flipping. You get a spongy dosa with one side that is absolutely crisp and golden-red. The aroma of butter simply kills your will, and makes you succumb to the temptation!
- There are also dosas made with other combinations of cereals and lentils such as the Pesarattu, Moong Dal Dosa or Adai Dosa. The Neer Dosa of Karnataka is a lesser-known gem, which is definitely worth trying. You can make dosas with a mix of different grains like brown rice, nachni, sanwa, and so on. Instant dosas like Rava Dosa, Rice Rava Dosa, Instant Oats Dosa and Buckwheat Dosa can be made in a jiffy by simply mixing readymade ingredients into a batter that is ready to cook. You do not have to ferment these batters. So, they are just perfect for hurried mornings, when you have not planned for breakfast the previous night.
- Dosas are made even more exciting by stuffing them with awesome fillings. The most classic example of this is the Mysore Masala Dosa, which is lined with chutney and packed with potato bhaji. You can be creative with the stuffing, and throw in just about anything you want, from paneer to spinach. Try the Stuffed Sprouts Dosa and Stuffed Wheat Dosa. Delight your kids with the Stuffed Dosa Cones or Chocolate Dosa when they come home from school!
- Dosas are usually served with Sambar and one or more chutneys. If the dosa itself is elaborate and spicy, go for a mellow chutney like Coconut Chutney. If it’s a plain dosa, go for something peppier like the Tomato Chutney or Coriander Chutney. A very versatile category of snacks, Dosas can be made with varied ingredients, in varied forms and to suit anybody’s individual preferences. Check our collection of dosa recipes. So, do give it a try!
