Oats Pancakes/Uthappam




This is a special request from my mom. She has been asking me to make these for a while now and we are not  big on breakfast. As always, this was a light brunch for us on a Saturday morning and it's quick and easy. Nutritious and filled with vegetables.


Ingredients:
Oats - 1 Cup
Sooji/Semolina - 1/2 Cup
Yogurt/Curd - 1/2 Cup
Salt - to taste
Green Chilis - 2
Ginger - 1 inch
Cumin Seeds - 1/2 tbsp
Onion - 1/2 to 2
Carrot grated - 1
Curry leaves and Cilantro - A few






Grind the oats into a coarse powder. Mix with Sooji and yogurt and add water. It will clump up as the sooji absorbs the liquid. Chop all the vegetables finely and add to the batter. Mix and add salt and water as required. 





Heat a pan and add one heaping ladle of the batter and make thick pancakes or oothappam. Fry on one side, filp and cook on the other side. I had a mini oothappam pan and I made these in that pan.  






Serve hot with Chutney or Sambar of your choice.
