Oats Idli

Oats Idli

Writing a recipe from MTR's ready mix is no brainier. I am doing this to promote 'Oat' in our vegetarian diet for its rich protein source.
Oat is touted as cholesterol buster and is widely used as cereal. Oats Idli made from MTR's ready mix is fluffy, soft and delicious. One can improvise the recipe to one's taste. (In this case I have added green chillis, cilantro, ginger and carrot to add to the taste.) Low fat yogurt makes it rich in protein and calcium. In this prep only half packet is used.

Cooking time:           15 minutes total.

Number of Idlis:      12 in this case

Nutrients:                 Fiber, Protein, Calcium.

Protein :                    2 grams per Idli

 Ingredients

Oat Idli Mix (MTR)                    1 cup

Yogurt (Low fat)                         1 cup

Green chilli chopped                 1 tea spoon

Ginger chopped                          1 tea spon

Cilantro chopped                       1 tea spoon

carrot chopped                            1 table spoon

 

Method: (Follow the directions in the packet.)  Mix the Idli mix with the low fat yogurt and all other ingredients and set aside for 4 to 6 minutes. Add the batter to the Idli plates 'oiled well' and steam cook for about 12 minutes. Let it cool a bit and then take them out. Serve the Idli with chutney or any of your favorite sauce.
