Oats is a very healthy diet option for diabetic patients and people who are constantly watching their weight. It has been scientifically proven that oats can REDUCE bad cholesterol. It is high in fiber, and so is digested slowly - meaning, there is a slower release of glucose into the blood stream, making it an excellent meal for diabetics. Oats is rich in phytoestrogen compounds that are very good for women - it guards against fibroids, breast cancer and pms symptoms. Oats is also, the only cereal that has protein - unlike our daily Indian staple of rice and wheat which have negligible amounts of protein.
I wanted a recipe which serves as as a whole meal like Oats porridge, but more "Indian". Hence the dosa (pancake).
In this recipe, to add to the nutrition value, I have used carrots. You can vary this recipe by using finely chopped/grated Cabbage, Capsicum, and Spinach.
Ingredients
Oats-dry roasted and powdered-1cup
(You can use the Oat flour if it's available ready made in the market)
Wheat flour-1/2cup
Onion-finely chopped -1
Carrot-Grated
Green chillies, Coriander, Ginger-Finely chopped
Salt
Procedure
1.Take one cup of oats.Dry roast in a tawa and powder it.
2.Mix all the ingedients with required salt.
3.Add water and make a thick batter. Let the batter soak well for 10 minutes.Don't leave the batter too long as it will become soggy.Also don't refrigerate and prepare the next day.
6.Serve it with Curd.
