Also called Irish or
Scotch oats, these are cut, not rolled. They look like chopped up rice, take
the longest to cook, and have a slightly chewy consistency.

Sometimes called
rolled oats, these look like flat little ovals. When processing these oats,
the kernels are steamed first, and then rolled to flatten them. They take
longer to cook than quick oats, but are quicker than steel cut oats.

Also called instant
oats, these oats are pre-cooked, dried, and then rolled. They cook in a few
minutes when added to hot water, and have a mushy texture.

I prepared Green Gram with Oats(Old fashioned Oats) Dosa today.I used only one Green Chilli as the variety which we buy is too hot for the tongue.Dosa came out nicely.When I tasted the Dosa,I had a feeling that the Oats content is not getting cooked properly,though I kept the Dosa in the hot Dosa pan for over a minute for each side.Please guide me to get properly cooked Dosa

ReplyDeleteThanks for the feedback. You can dry fry the oats for a minute and soak it for 1 hour and grind it with dhal. When you make dosa , cover it with lid and cook it.
Thanks
