Grind the oats to a powder.

Make a paste of green chilli and ginger.

Keep all the ingredients ready.

Method :

Take oil in a pan, add mustard seeds. As it crackles, put asafoetida and turmeric. Throw in the green chilli-ginger paste along with a few curry leaves.

Add the semolina, roast it for two minutes.

Now, put the powdered oats to it and continue to roast it for a minute.

Let it cool for sometime.

Put the grated carrot, chopped coriander and curds. Mix it. Add salt.

Time to get the idli steamer ready. Put water in the steamer, grease the mould plate if you are used to it. I, usually, wash the moulds under running water, put it aside for sometime  and use them.

Add baking soda to the batter, mix it thoroughly and put it in the moulds.

Now, steam it for twelve minutes on moderate heat.

Once the oats idli is done, allow them to cool for a while. Remove them and serve with coconut chutney.
