We use oats at least 3 to 4 times a week for making different foods like dosa, porridge, upma, pongal, khichdi, masala oats, sambar oats, pulihora.

Most of these easy oats recipes are a good alternate to an elaborate meal. There are a few different ways I make oats uttapam, sharing all of them. You can use any kind of oats.

If using rolled oats, powder them and use. If using quick cook oats with rice flour, they can be used without powdering too.

In the first method of instant oats uttapam, rice flour or sooji (semolina) has to be used for a good binding and crispness.

I have made this without curd or yogurt, if you like a sour taste, curd can also be used. More details in the recipe below.

These oats uttapam are great to serve with some pickle, chutney or podi.

Method 1 – how to make instant oats uttapam

1. Add half cup quick cook oats or rolled oats to a bowl along with ¼ th cup rice flour or sooji, salt. If using rolled oats, measure half cup first and then powder it.

I used quickcookoats so did not powder. If using sooji instead of rice flour, then powder the oats.

3. Grease and heat a pan/ tawa. Pour a laddle full of batter and lightly spread it. Usually uttapam are made thick, but here oats may lend a sticky texture, so make them medium thick. Add chopped onions, carrots, coriander and green chilies. You can also add deseeded tomatoes, thinly sliced capsic*ms. Press with a wooden spoon gently.

5. Flip it to the other side, Fry for a while on a low flame for the uttapam to turn crisp. If you have any pickle or chutney podi, you can sprinkle evenly. I like to use flax seed podi.

Method 2 – oats uttapam using dosa batter

Oats uttapam can also be made using any left over dosa batter. Every week I am usually left with little batter after making dosa, i use up that to make different kinds of uttapam. I make dosa using 1: 3 (dal:rice) ratio. For 1 cup of thin dosa batter, i add half cup of quickoats and mix well. If needed i also use more water to bring it to a pouring consistency. The dosas turn out very good, tasty and delicious too. These make a super quick and nice breakfast or can be had as a after school snack.

1. Add dosa batter to a bowl.
