Oats Idli | Oats Instant Breakfast Recipe

Oats Idli
Oats Idli is becoming a routine menu these days...I am fond of oats and luv to try different varieties in it. So most of my baking attempts are with it these days and some are successful too :) I tried Usha's instant oats idly and am addicted to the taste I should say....I just modified the quantity and a recipe a bit to suit our taste and the result was soft and tasty idlies. Am sure will make this often as hubby liked it so much. It tastes more like rava idly. I use saffola oats and it works well, even quaker oats is good.
