Oats Cheela is a healthy and delicious dish, packed with fibre from oats and nutrients from vegetables, making it a wholesome choice, a nutritious breakfast or light meal that can be eaten at any time of the day.
1 cup rolled oats 1/2 cup yoghurt 1/4 cup finely chopped vegetables (onions, bell peppers, spinach) 1 green chilli 1/2 tsp cumin seeds 1/4 tsp turmeric powder Oil or ghee
In a blender or food processor, grind rolled oats into a coarse powder. Transfer the ground oats to a mixing bowl.
Add yoghurt, water, chopped vegetables, green chilli,cumin seeds, turmeric powder, salt, and form a smooth batter. Let it rest for about 10-15 minutes.
Heat a non-stick pan or tawa and grease it lightly with oil. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the centre of the hot griddle. Spread it gently in a circular motion to form a thin round pancake (cheela). Drizzle a few drops of oil around the edges.
Cook the cheela for 2-3 minutes then flip it using a spatula and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes.
Serve oats cheela hot with yoghurt, green chutney, or ketchup.
