 Oats Chilla Recipe For Weight Loss

Ingredients

• 1 cup instant oats
• 2 tablespoons gram flour/ besan
• 2 tablespoons semolina/suji
• 1 onion (medium size) finely chopped
• 1 tomato (medium size) finely chopped
• 1 green capsicum (medium size) finely chopped
• 2 green chilies finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh coriander leaves, finely chopped

Steps In Making Healthy Oats Chilla

• In a pan over medium heat dry roast the oats for 2-3 minutes or until aromatic.
• Now transfer the oats in a large bowl and let it cool down for a few minutes.
• In the same bowl add semolina and gram flour along with all the chopped veggies and spices- onions, capsicum, tomatoes, ginger, green chilies, turmeric, red chili powder, cumin powder, dry mango powder.
• Mix everything well and add little water at a time to prepare medium consistency batter. It shouldn’t be very thick nor runny. Now let it rest for 10 minutes.
• After 10 minutes if the batter has thickened, add 2-3 tablespoons of water to bring it to the right consistency. Finally, add salt and fresh coriander and mix well.
• In a pan over medium heat, add a teaspoon of oil/ghee and then pour a large spoonful of oats chilla batter and spread it evenly into a round shape.
• Cover it with a lid and cook for 2-3 minutes from each side.
• Serve hot with curd, chutney or tomato ketchup.
• ½ teaspoon ginger, finely chopped
• ½ teaspoon cumin/jeera powder
• ½ teaspoon red chili powder
• 4 tablespoons oil/ghee for cooking
• water to prepare the batter
• salt to taste

Recipe Notes

• I like to dry roast the oats but you can completely skip this step if needed.
• Add any veggies of your choice like grated carrots.
• Do not skip-gram flour in this recipe. It not only binds all the ingredients but also gives this oats chilla a very moist texture.
• If you are using rolled oats then grind them in a mixer grinder to form a coarse powder before using.
