Oats Khara Sundal

Happy Ganesh Chaturthi & Eid Mubarak to all my friends.


Like every year I made clay ganesha at home.But this year I made a Bala Ganesha from whom I just couldn't turn my eyes off.I felt he was looking at me for his yummy treats :)
As part of tradition we make undaralu, pulihora & payasam. This year I added seasame kozhukattai & uppu kozuhukattai for prasadam.I didn't want to offer god my experimental dish so I made it later as a snack.

Ingredients 

1/2 cup Broken Oats 
1/2 cup Rice flour
1/2 cup water 
1/2 tsp butter
2 Green Chilli
Salt (Varies acc to your taste)
2 tsp fresh grated coconut 

Seasoning 
1/2 tsp Mustard 
1/2 tsp Jeera
1/2 tsp Urad Dal
1 Red chilli 
Curry leave
1 tsp oil 

Heat a vessel with water and butter & bring it to boil.Keep stirring the water while you add rice flour to vessel. This allows you to get a nice dough with out lumps. 
Remove it from heat once the rice flour is done.Cool it. 

Meanwhile heat a pan with 1 tsp butter and oats. Fry them till a nice aroma comes from them or till they turn light brown.
Add the fried oats, salt & Chilli to rice flour. Mix it well.
Roll out balls with the dough.Grease the idli plates with little butter and place balls in it.Steam cook them for 15mins.
Heat a pan with oil and add seasoning to it. Once the mustard starts spluttering add curry leaves & remove it from heat.
Mix grated coconut & seasoning.




Note:
1. If you have rolled oats butter fry them once they cool down coarsely grind them.
2. Use some butter to roll out balls if they are sticky.

Out come:In each and every bite you can taste the fiber feel.Oh they are delicious...
