Oats , I know, very healthy, low cholestrol, high fibre, etc etc etc. But what about taste?? I don't like the taste of oats eaten as cereal for breakfast. I have to disguise it to be able to consume.
Hence, I make oats idli, oats dosa , or oats roti, etc. This way i can consume oats without complaining. Making it this way doesn't make much difference to the taste. It almost tastes like a nomal wheat roti.
So here is how I make Oats Rotis.
Ingredients :
- Whole Wheat Flour - 2 cups
- Rolled Oats - 1 cup
- Salt - to taste
- Oil / Ghee - to sprinkle
- Water - as needed to knead the dough
Directions:
- Dry roast the oats in a pan. Let it cool and then grind it to a smooth powder.
- In a mixing bowl, take aata ( wheat flour ) , oats powder, salt and knead the dough soft and pliable.
- Make lemon sized balls and brush them with dry flour .
- Roll out each ball into thin discs of approx. 6 inches diameter with the help of a rolling pin.
- Tossing the disc in the dry flour while rolling prevents it from sticking it to the rolling pin.
- Pre heat the tawa ( griddle ) and layout this roti on the hot tawa .
- Cook for about a 30-40 seconds until small bubbles start to form on the top of roti.
- Flip the roti and you will see small brown patches on the roti. After the first flip, sprinkle some oil or ghee on the surface and flip it again after 30 seconds. Sprinkle some more oil/ghee to this surface.
- Cook for 30 more seconds. Roti is done when it looks golden brown from both sides.
Serve with any curry or raita and salad.
