A healthy breakfast with oats. I am aways on the look out for pancakes with oats, quinoa or millets and this one with veggies was awesome. Serve it with some carrot chutney (check chutney’s section) and watch your family enjoy this nutritious breakfast.
Makes approximately 8.
Ingredients:
Rawa/Semolina – 1/2 cup
Oats powder – 1 cup
Rice flour – 2 1/2 tbsp
Onion – 1 small
Carrot small – 1/2 (grated) – optional
Capsicum – 1 small
Green chillies – 1
Curry leaves – 4 or 5
Coriander leaves – 1 sprig
Thick buttermilk – 1/2 cup
Salt- as required
Water – 1 cup
Oil for cooking
Preparation:
Heat a pan. When hot, add oats and saute it for 2 minutes. Remove and let it cool. When it cools down, transfer it to a mixie and powder it. The powder should not be very fine but slightly coarse.
Chop onion, capsicum and green chillies very fine. Also, chop curry leaves and coriander leaves. If you are adding carrots, grate and keep it aside.
In a mixing bowl, add the oats powder, rice flour, semolina and combine it well. Next, add the chopped carrots, capsicum, onions, curry leaves, green chillies and coriander leaves. Mix it well and slowly add the butter milk and water. Add salt and stir well to combine. Adjust the quantity of water required for the batter.
The batter should not be too thick or runny. The consistency should be like that of a pancake or dosa consistency.
Next, heat a tava or skillet. When it becomes hot, reduce the flame to medium low and grease it with oil. Pour 1/2 cup or 3/4 th ladle of batter on it and slightly spread it in the middle. Try and spread it as thin as possible. Pour 1/2 tsp of oil all around the uthappam and cook. When it becomes golden on one side, flip it to the other side and cook it to a golden colour.
Remove and serve hot with carrot chutney or coriander chutney and sambar.
Note: If you keep the batter for a long time, the semolina will soak up all the water and the batter will become thick and soggy. Add buttermilk and water just before you begin to prepare the uthappams or savoury pancakes.
