Oats Idli an instant, yummy and healthy breakfast dish for all age groups. Sometimes I forget to soak the rice and dal in water to prepare our traditional idli batter and I get annoyed with myself as I will be finding difficult to plan for next day breakfast. After I started making Instant Oats Idli, nowadays I don’t even mind if I forget to prepare the traditional batter as Oats Idli is very instant.

We can use the mini idli plate and use the oats idli batter and make yummy mini idlis. We can add different vegetables to the batter and make oats idli even more healthier.

In addition to the Oats Idli, i also make many other recipes using Oats – Vegetable Oats Adai, Oats Masala Paratha, Masala Oats Porridge are very popular in our home. You may want to try these recipes as well

Recipe card to make Vegetable Oats Idli

Method with step by step pictures:

Take a pan and add oats to it. Dry roast the oats till we get a nice aroma and the oats turn slightly brown color. Remove the roasted oats and allow it to cool off and then grind it in a mixer to a nice powder

Heat oil in the pan and add mustard seeds. When the mustard seeds starts to sputter, add channa dal and fry till the dals turns golden brown color. Now, chopped green chillies and saute it for 10 seconds. Add Grated carrot, chopped beas and capsicum along with green peas and saute them in medium flame for 2 minutes

Add semolina to the pan and roast them for 3 minutes.When the semolina slightly changes its color add chopped coriander leaves and mix well and remove from flame.

Take the contents in the pan to a bowl and add powdered oats along with salt. To this add sour curd and mix well. .

Add water to adjust the consistency of the batter like our traditional idli batter. Finally add soda salt and mix well and keep the batter for 5-10 minutes. We can notice lots of bubbles in the batter. The addition of soda salt helps in getting softer and fully idlis. Grease the idli plates with oil and pour the oats idli batter

Steam cook them for 10 minutes. After the idlis are cooked completely, allow the idli plates to cool off completely. Using a wet spoon, gently remove each idli and place it in a serving plate

Serve the delicious Instant Vegetable Oats Idli with Tiffen Sambar, Chutney or milagai podi (Gun Powder). I always prefer to have oats idli with milagai podi which is a great combination for this. Enjoy your healthy breakfast and share your comments!!!

Did you add turmeric powder when cooking the vegetables? How did it get its yellow color?

Hi, No I did not add any turmeric powder. Roasting semolina for 2-3 minutes will give a slight yellow color

What is soda salt? anyother option for soda salt?

Hello Radha, Soda Salt is nothing but the cooking soda/baking soda. You can get this in grocery shops. You can also add ENO. You can also go without adding Soda salt, but the idli won't come out fluffy and soft..

Hai…is soda salt same as baking soda??? …. used in baking.
regards,
valli.

Hello, Yes, both baking soda and soda salt are same.
