Oats Kara Kozhukattai Recipe

Print Friendly and PDF
My Belated Vinayakar chathurthi wishes to all ..Hope u all celebrated well by offering  kozhukattai & sundal. 
Now coming to the post, I always make oats dosa for my husband. Last week for a change I tried oats kozhukattai. I got the recipe from a cookbook. I made some changes to the actual recipe and tried for breakfast.. It was good. A good replacement for oats dosa and porridge. I am glad in sending this to EC’s WYF – Breakfast event. 

oats kozhukattai

For 10 – 12 pieces
Ingredients :
  • Quick Oats – 1/2 cup
  • Red chilli – 2 nos (pinch into two )
  • Curry leaves – a sprig
  • Coconut pieces – a few (cut into very small pieces )
  • Mustard seeds – 1/2 tsp
  • Urad dal – 1 tsp
  • Channa dal – 1 tsp
  • Hing – 2 –3 pinches
  • Salt & water – as needed
  • Oil – 1 tsp
Method :
  • Heat a kadai and dry roast the oats till nice aroma arises.. It may take 3-5 mins.
  • Coarse grind (Run the mixie once or twice )the roasted oats and transfer into a bowl.
  • In the kadai , add 1 tsp of oil and season with mustard seeds , urad dal , red chilly , curry leaves and a pinch of hing.
  • Add the coconut pieces to it and fry for a minute.
  • Mix the seasoned items with the ground oats along with the remaining hing.
  • Add salt & water to knead like a chapatti dough.
  • Then make small balls or ur desired shape to make kozhukattai and steam in idly pot for 8- 10 mins.
Hot & spicy oats kozhukattai is ready to serve !! Tastes the best when hot.
No side dish is required!! If needed , you can serve with coconut chutney !!
oats kozhukattai  3


VARIATIONS :
  • Instead of coarse grinding the oats , u can grind it to make a powder and prepare the same .
  • If  u want, u can add equal amount of rice flour to the ground oats and make kozhukattai.
