Instant Oats Coriander Rawa Idli

Before I go on to today's post, I would like to share a small piece of news. Seduce Your Tastebuds was the winner of April Junta of the month in the Veteran blogger Category.The details are here. I also got a badge for the same.

And if you have a minute hop over to my travel bog which I have updated after a long time and take a look at the Dazong Lake Scenic Area in Yancheng, Jiangsu province, China.

Now on to today's post...The recipe for the third day of blogging marathon, is a breakfast dish. Anything with the word 'instant' is a hit at home. It also saves a lot of time with the soaking, grinding and whatever other pre-preparations have to be done.This recipe comes from Priya's blog. I had bookmarked this recipe when we ran the previous edition of blogging Marathon.

Sour curd as needed [Around 2 cups]
Coriander leaves - a large fistful

3. Roast the rava till fragrant.
4. In a large bowl put in oats powder, rava, ground paste, a little salt and mix well.
5. Add curd little by little and bring it to idli batter consistency. If curd is not sufficient add water.
6. Grease idli plates and keep them ready.

Note:

• This idli tastes best when served piping hot.
• If you are making more than one batch, divide the batter into small portions and  add Eno to each portion just before steaming.
• To get a greener idli, add more of coriander leaves.
• Instead of coriander leaves, mint leaves can be added.
• Roasting the oats and rava is optional but when roasted and used, the idlis are more tasty.
