OATS DOSA RECIPE|OATS BREAKFAST RECIPE

Eat Breakfast like a King, Lunch like a Prince, and Dine like a Pauper This is an ancient proverb that we all are aware of .This fantastic nutritious packed Dosa made with  Oats and Rice is a perfect breakfast or end dinner for the day.The flavor of the Oats in the Dosa is a great plus .

We all are well aware that oats is a very healthy and nutritious food and as breakfast is the most vital meal of the day, the perfect way to start it would be with a bowl of oats. There is no doubt that oatmeal has been ranked as one of the best foods which can fight against cholesterol and a single bowl of oatmeal contains several vital nutrients such as complex carbohydrates, B vitamins, fiber, and minerals such as phosphorous, iron, selenium, and calcium.

The best benefits of oatmeal for weight loss is that it is a great source of fiber. The oatmeal is a soluble fiber, which means your body slowly moves this food product through your digestive system, allowing you to feel more satisfied for long amounts of time.
There is no doubt over the fact that a fiber rich diet leads to lowering of cholesterol and it also helps to control diabetes, obesity and cancer.

Knowing the health benefits of oats in our diet, I had bought saffola oats (masala flavour & pepper flavour) from ratnadeep super market . Since I have a liking for dosas at home or even in restaurants, I thought of utilizing  these oat packets for making oats dosa for last sat weekend .I served them with spicy peanut chutney andhra style .The batter fermented  well and the dosas were very light and crispy resulting in healthy dosas.




Ingredients :-
2 cup regular rice
 1 cup urad dal
 2 saffola oats packets (small packets) about  1 cup
 1 tsp methi/ fenugreek seeds
