OATS are gluten-free whole grain and a great source of important vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants. Studies show that oats have many health benefits. These include weight loss, lower blood sugar levels and a reduced risk of heart disease

Oats are rich in carbs and fiber, but also higher in protein and fat than most other grains. They are very high in many vitamins and minerals.

Oats contain many powerful antioxidants, including avenanthramides. These compounds may help reduce blood pressure and provide other benefits.

Oats are high in the soluble fiber beta-glucan, which has numerous benefits. It helps reduce cholesterol and blood sugar levels, promotes healthy gut bacteria and increases feelings of fullness. Oats may lower the risk of heart disease by reducing both total and LDL cholesterol and protecting LDL cholesterol from oxidation. Due to the soluble fiber beta-glucan, oats may improve insulin sensitivity and help lower blood sugar levels.

Add this tempering with veges into the batter and continue with the above method.

NOTES

Imp * – Don’t let the batter sit after adding the eno pwdr, immediately steam it.
As wheat and oats both are dry in texture , I have added oil in the batter .
You can add veges of your choice also.
Instead of wheat we can use semolina / rava .
While roasting the wheat and oats it should not change colour.
Allow the water to boil before placing the idli stand.
The idli can be stored in fridge and reheated in microwave the next day.
Instant of eno you can add 1/2 tsp of baking soda.
The batter should not be very thick or thin ,it should be of pouring consistency.
I have used quaker oats.
