Oats Roti














So I have been trying to find tasty ways of eating oats, which is a rich source of soluble fibre 'Beta-glucan', a potent cholesterol-lowering agent. (http://eatmoreoats.com/health.html).

I don't like oats with milk+fruits, I do eat it, but not with enjoyment :)

So have been trying out recipes I found on the Net. Sharing some of them.

Oats Roti
You can also substitute this for chapathis and have it with curries/sabji, it's quite thin.
  1. 1 cup whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta)
  2. 1/2 cup quick cooking rolled oats (what you get in packets, the regular one)
  3. 1/2 tsp finely chopped green chillies
  4. 1/4 cup chopped onions
  5. 2 tbsp chopped coriander (dhania leaves)
  6. 3/4 tsp salt
  7. 2 tsp oil

Method
  1. Combine all the ingredients and knead into stiff dough using a little water.
  2. Cover and keep aside for 20 minutes.
  3. Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Shape into round balls and roll each ball into 125 mm. (5") diameter rounds using little flour.
  4. Cook on a tava (griddle) on both sides till brown spots appear.
  5. Serve hot with fresh low fat curds.
