Oats Dosa is a crispy, lacy breakfast/snack recipe of thin crepes made with cooking oats, yogurt, onions, herbs and spices. This South Indian recipe of Oats Dosa recipe is quick, instant to prepare and makes up for a healthy breakfast for your busy mornings. Additionally, this recipe does not need any fermentation of the batter.

About This Oats Dosa Recipe

This delicious oats dosa has become a frequent part of our menu. They are quick to prepare and make for a nutritious breakfast or snack. Here are a few more tasty Oats Recipes to try.

Oats Dosa is a crispy crepe made with oats flour. This recipe is an instant, quick variation of the traditional Dosa Recipe which is time-intensive – that involves soaking rice and lentils, grinding them into a batter, and fermenting.

When I had begun to test and develop oats dosa recipe many years back, I could not believe that these delicious crepes had oats in them. I was surprised with their texture and taste – crisp, lacy, flavorful and healthy.

Bonus they were quick to make as no fermentation is needed. I must admit though, that the oats dosa recipe made with the traditional method of fermented rice, lentil batter and ground oats flour tastes great as well.

All you need to make this recipe, is oat flour and the usual Indian pantry staples. I make my own oat flour by grinding quick cooking oats or rolled oats in a mixer-grinder.

Sometimes I also make the oats flour a day ahead and store it in the fridge. This make it very easy and quick to make the Oats Dosa in the early morning hours.

Simply mix the rava (sooji), rice flour, onions, herbs, spices, yogurt, water with the flour. Spread batter on a hot tawa and make dosa in batches.

I keep the consistency of the batter similar to Rava Dosa batter. This makes for a lacy, thin and crispy texture in the Oats Dosa, which taste awesome as is and even when paired with any chatni.

How to Make Oats Dosa

Make Oats Flour

1. In a blender or mixer-grinder take ½ cup of quick cooking oats or rolled oats.

2. Grind the oats to a fine flour.

Combine The Flours

3. Transfer the ground oats flour into a mixing bowl.

2. Add ¼ cup of fine rava (sooji or cream of wheat or semolina). Do not use coarse rava granules. You can add semolina flour too.

3. Next add ¼ cup of rice flour. As a healthy option, you can opt for brown rice flour. Make sure that your rice flour is finely ground and not coarse.

Make Batter

4. Add ½ cup of fresh curd or ¼ cup fresh curd for a less sour taste. If you prefer a sour taste in your oats dosa, add sour curd.

If you decide to include sour curd, add ¼ cup of it. Add water as needed to get the right consistency. For rolled oats flour, you will need to add slightly more water.

5. Add 1 cup of water.

6. Begin to mix the batter.

7. Stir and mix thoroughly until you get a smooth consistency without any lumps.

8. Add all of the listed ingredients mentioned below

  • ¼ cup of finely chopped onions
  • 1 teaspoon of finely chopped ginger
  • 1 teaspoon of finely chopped green chilies
  • 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of chopped coriander leaves
  • 7 to 8 finely chopped curry leaves (about 1 tablespoon chopped curry leaves)

9. Combine and mix very well. Add ½ teaspoon of cumin seeds, ¼ teaspoon of crushed black pepper, and salt as required.

You can add 1 to 2 tablespoons of grated coconut if you like.

10. Stir again and set aside the batter for 10 minutes. The water will float on top and the flours will be at the bottom after resting the batter.

11. Check the consistency and add ¼ cup of water. I added a total of 1.25 cups water but you can add about 1.5 cups water depending on the texture of the flours.

I used Homemade Curd and the batter was not very thick. If you are using very thick yogurt like greek yogurt, you may need to add more water. The consistency should be thin and runny like Rava Dosa batter.

Make Oats Dosa

12. Heat a cast iron skillet/tawa or a nonstick frying pan on a medium to medium-high heat. If using a cast-iron skillet, sprinkle some water carefully to check the temperature before adding the oil. If the water droplets sizzle and evaporate, add the dosa batter to the pan.

Do not add water to a nonstick pan as adding water will affect the nonstick coating. Drizzle ½ to 1 teaspoon of oil on the skillet (cast-iron or non-stick). Spread the oil with a spoon.

13. Stir the batter in the bowl and fill a ladle with batter and pour it from the circumference to the center.

Do not spread the batter with the back of the ladle as you usually would for the traditional fermented dosa recipes.

You can make a small dosa to test whether the consistency of the batter is correct. If the batter is too thick, add 1 or 2 tablespoons of water and if the batter is too thin, add 1 or 2 tablespoons of rice flour.

14. Obviously there will be some large or small gaps in the dosa.

15. Fill the gaps with a bit more of the batter.

16. Now cook the dosa on a medium to medium-high heat.

17. Sprinkle some oil around the sides and in the small gaps.

18. Cook for 1.5 to 2 minutes. You will see that the edges loosen up and separate from the pan.

19. When the base becomes crisp and golden, flip and cook the other side.

20. When this second side is cooked and crisp, flip it again and cook the first side to make it crisper. For a less crisp dosa, cook on both sides once and serve when done.

21. Fold on the tava and remove.

22. Add the oats dosa to a plate and serve hot. If you are not able to serve it hot, cover the dosas with a lid.

The crisp texture of the dosas will change if they are served warm or at room temperature. However, they still taste delicious.

Serving Suggestions

Like your usual regular dosa, oats dosa tastes delicious with Coconut Chutney, Sambar, or Idli Podi.

You can enjoy with Tomato Chutney, Onion Chutney, Peanut Chutney or Ginger Chutney. I like to serve my oats dosa with coconut chutney or tomato chutney.

It is best to eat these instant oats dosa hot. When they cool the texture becomes soft.

Make Ahead and Leftovers

For busy mornings, when you plan to make quick breakfast, prep the batter (without adding onions and coriander leaves) a day earlier and refrigerate overnight.

The batter will thicken a bit after refrigeration. Add some water to get the right consistency before you make your oats dosa.

You could also make the oat flour a day earlier and store in the fridge in an airtight container. Next morning add the remaining ingredients to the oat flour and make the batter.

Any leftover batter keeps well for a day in the refrigerator. While making dosa with the leftover batter, add water if it has become thick.

Expert Tips

  • Batter consistency: The consistency of the batter should be thin, runny and flowing like Rava Dosa batter. If the batter is slightly thick, you get soft dosas and not crisp ones. I suggest to test a small portion of the batter to check how the dosa turns out before using up the entire batch of batter.
  • Correcting thick or very thin batter: If the batter becomes too thin, the dosas will come out thin and limp with no structure or shape. If the batter is very thin, add 1 or 2 tablespoons of rice flour or more and stir to thicken it slightly. If the batter is thick, add 1 or 2 tablespoons water to make the consistency thin.
  • Temperature of the skillet: The skillet/tawa has to be hot. After the batter is poured, small holes are formed that create a lacy effect.
  • Cooking time: These instant oats dosa take more time to cook as compared with your regular dosa. Do not be in a hurry to cook them. Remove them from the skillet when you see that they are golden and crispy on both sides.
  • Stirring batter every time: Before making each dosa stir and mix the batter very well with the ladle. The flours settle at the bottom of the bowl. Mix the batter every time prior to making every dosa. This ensures the flours are evenly mixed before you make your dosa.
  • Using a cast-iron skillet: If you are using a cast-iron skillet, make sure the skillet or tawa is well seasoned. If not the dosa will stick to the skillet.
  • Including Curd (yogurt): The addition of curd gives the dosas a delicious slight sour taste. If you don’t have curd, add water instead.
  • Scaling: Make a small or a large batch of this oats dosa recipe as it suits you, by easily scaling the ingredients.

FAQs

Why is my oats dosa not crispy?

Your oats dosa might not be crispy because you did not cook it for long enough. To ensure that you get a crispy oats dosa cook it on a medium heat on the skillet and keep cooking until both sides are crispy and golden brown.

Why is my oats dosa white?

Your oats dosa may be white because it was not cooked for long enough on both sides. Make sure you cook the dosa on both sides on a medium heat until it becomes golden brown.

How is oats dosa perfectly poured?

Fill a ladle with batter and pour it from the circumference to the center. You should not spread the batter with the back of the ladle as you would for the traditional dosa recipe.

Why does my oats dosa break?

Your oats dosa might be breaking because the dosa batter is too thin. If the batter is too thin, add 1 or 2 tablespoons rice flour. To test your dosa batter add a small portion of the batter to the pan and change the consistency if needed.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup quick cooking oats or rolled oats
  • ¼ cup Rice Flour
  • ¼ cup rava (sooji or cream of wheat or semolina)
  • ½ cup Curd (yogurt)
  • ¼ cup finely chopped onions or 1 small onion – finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped ginger
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped green chilies
  • 1 to 1.5 tablespoon chopped coriander leaves (cilantro)
  • 7 to 8 curry leaves or 1 tablespoon, finely chopped
  • ½ teaspoon cumin seeds
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper – crushed in a mortar-pestle
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons grated coconut – optional
  • 1.25 cups water or add as required
  • salt as required
  • oil or ghee or butter as required

Instructions

Making batter

  • Grind the oats in a mixer or grinder to a fine flour. Take this flour in a mixing bowl.
  • Then add rice flour and rava (finer variety of sooji.cream of wheat/semolina).
  • Add fresh curd. You can also use sour curd. If using sour curd, then add ¼ cup and add more water to get the right consistency. 
  • You can also add ¼ cup fresh curd for a less sour taste.
  • Add 1 cup water. Stir and mix to a smooth consistency without any lumps. For rolled oats flour, you will need to add slightly more water.
  • Add finely chopped onion, ginger, green chilies, chopped coriander leaves and curry leaves.
  • Mix very well again and then add cumin seeds, crushed black pepper and salt as required. You can also add 1 to 2 tablespoons of grated fresh coconut.
  • Mix again and let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
  • After 10 minutes, check the consistency and add ¼ cup water. Do add water as needed. 
  • You can add up-to to 1.5 cups water. I used homemade curd that was not very thick. If using thick curd then you may need to add some more water.
  • The consistency should be thin, watery and flowing like rava dosa batter.

Making oats dosa

  • On a medium flame heat a cast iron pan or a non-stick pan. Drizzle ½ to 1 teaspoon of oil and spread it with the spoon. 
  • Before adding the oil, if using a cast iron pan, sprinkle some water to check the temperature of the pan. 
  • If the water droplets sizzle and evaporate, the pan is ready to make dosas.
  • Avoid sprinkling water on a nonstick pan as adding water on a hot nonstick pan, may affect the nonstick layer coating.
  • Stir the batter in the bowl and take a ladle full of batter and pour it from the circumference to the center. 
  • Do not spread the batter with the back of the ladle like the way we do for regular dosas. Fill the small or large gaps with a bit more of the batter.
  • Sprinkle some oil around the sides and in the small holes or gaps and cook the dosa.
  • Once the base becomes crisp and golden, flip and cook the other side.
  • Once this side is cooked and crisp, flip again and you can cook the first side to make it more crisp. Fold on the tava and remove.
  • Transfer to a plate and preferably serve oats dosa hot. if you are not able to serve hot, then just cover the prepared oats dosa with a lid and proceed to cook the remaining oats dosa in a similar way.
  • The crisp texture changes if you serve the oats dosa warm or at room temperature. However, they still taste good.

Serving Suggestions

  • Serve these instant oats dosa with oats dosa tastes delicious with Coconut Chutney, Sambar, or Idli Podi.
  • You can serve with Tomato Chutney, Onion Chutney, Peanut Chutney or Ginger Chutney. It is best to eat these instant oats dosa hot. When they cool the texture becomes soft.

Make Ahead and Leftovers

  • For a really quick morning breakfast, prep the batter (without adding onions and coriander leaves) a day earlier and refrigerate overnight.
  • The batter will thicken slightly after refrigeration. Add some water to get the right consistency before you make the oats dosa.
  • The leftover batter keeps well for a day in the refrigerator. While making dosa with the leftover batter, add water if it has become thick.

    1. You can try using besan (gram flour), moong dal flour, amaranth flour or ragi flour. The taste, texture and flavor will change when any of these flours are used.

  5. Hello dassana ji, I’m big fan of yours n i love your recipes. I’ve prepared many of them and all of them were delicious.. I want to ask you that while making oats dosa or oats idli if I skip lemon juice or curd, could I make the same recipe?5 stars

    Reply

    1. thank you supriya for this positive feedback on the recipes you have tried. for oats dosa you can skip adding curd or lemon juice. these are added so that there is some sourness in the dosa. for oats idli, some acidity is required for the baking soda or eno to react. the reaction between the baking soda/eno and lemon juice or vinegar helps in making the idli fluffy and soft. so in oats idli, one of the either i.e curd or lemon juice should be added. hope this helps.

  8. Hi
    Can u please suggest me which type of oats I can use to make dosa. As in market many types of saffola oats are available I’m confused what shall I use

    Reply

    1. use quick cooking oats or rolled oats. saffola also has plain oats which i think are quick cooking oats. these are just plain oats and not flavored with anything. don’t use the masala oats etc.

  21. Hi Dassana,

    Your recipes are wonderful. Whatever it is I first try finding it on your website. They are always spot on and taste just like home. There is one question I want to ask. I see you write 1cup=250ml. When you measure the flour is it still 250g or is it 340g as I read elsewhere in recipes ? You are doing great work ! Thanks a lot for it 🙂4 stars

    Reply

    1. Thanks Ginni. Depending upon the density of ingredient, each ingredient weigh separately when measured in a cup.
      e.g. 1 cup flour willl weighs 120 to 125 grams but 1 cup rice weighs 200 to 210 grams. Its not 250 grams. Either use the cup measurement or the weight measurement. also when weighing the weight of the ingredient is without the cup. it is only the ingredient that is weighed.

  26. Hi Mam .. is the rice flour added in the oats dosa recipe is the one which we grind at home using the rice or the one which is available in market as rice powder ??? Are these both same or different?? Kind of confused

    Reply

    1. both can be used. home ground one as well as store brought one. the home ground one has to be finely ground. both are same. actually what differs is the type of rice used to make flour. so you can make raw rice flour at home as well as get from outside.

  29. I am very much fan of all your recipes, they are all simply The Best. I tried oats dosa and the taste was fabulous. Only one problem that there were no jalis as shown in pictures. Can u plz suggest me why it happened and what to do for more zalis.5 stars

    Reply

    1. thanks vijay. for the jalis, the batter has to be thin and the tawa has to be hot. so when you pour the thin batter on the hot tawa, you get the jali like patterns. you can pour batter from a slightly more height than what is usually done for dosas. hope this helps.

    Not to forget huge thanks for continuing to do what you are doing ! It’s always a relief if I’m looking for a recipe and you have it. Keep up the great work .

    Reply

    1. thank you. with rolled oats/steel cut oats, you can soak them in water for an hour. then grind them to a thick paste with very little water. then add the other ingredients. or you can follow the recipe and then keep the batter to soak for at least 30 minutes, before you prepare the dosas. if there are tiny oats grits in the flour that you make, then seive the oats flour before you mix it with the rest of the ingredients.

  37. Hello Dassana! I have been trying your recipes for a very long time and all have been hits, but this turned out to be a disaster. I mixed everything in ratio but dosa was too soft, it was breaking. I tried to thin the batter, thick the batter, increase rice flour and samolina, but in vain. All were soft. I feel very disheartened. Can you suggest that what could have gone wrong?4 stars

    Reply

    1. which oats you used. too much of rice flour and semolina will also make the dosa soft. the proportion of oats to rice flour and semolina has to be balanced. just need to add more water to thin the batter.

  53. I have just started making dosa, idli etc. First attempt good – used crepe pan and turned dosa over easy. Last weekend, all attempts stuck to pan. Batter was thiner than before – log of bubble holes showing and they did not seem to cook inside. Should heat be low to medium? Any advice please?

    Reply

    1. firstly the pan should be well seasoned. the batter should not be more thin as then there will be holes but the dosas won’t have structure. they will look soft and appear as if not cooked. but they are cooked. this is due to the fact that a lot of water is there. heat should be medium.

    1. hi nishi, i use ultra table top grinder. really good. the urad dal batter comes out very fluffy like whipped cream. the results are much much better than grinding in a mixer-grinder. try buying one where you can remove the lid while grinding, so that you can look the batter. some models come with a fixed lid and they cannot be removed while grinding. go for a smaller size.

  67. Hello Dessana,

    Could you please clarify. Do I use “instant oats” (higher GI) or “whole grain rolled oats (lower GI) for this recipe? Or, does it not matter? My husband is diabetic so I am trying to do the right thing. All diabetic friendly recipes posted in the past and future are very much appreciated. Laurence

    1. hi laurence, you could use any oats. if using rolled oats, then just lightly roast them for 3 to 4 minutes in a pan on a low flame. when they cool down, then grind them to a fine powder. thanks for the feedback.

  71. Hi, can you skip the cream of wheat and add extra rice flour or substitute a different flour? I am gluten intolerant?

    1. try adding gram flour or besan. will give a different taste and texture but will be good. and as you mention, you can also just add overall 1/2 cup rice flour.

  72. Wow, a wonderful recipe… as you have mentioned, it doesn’t looks like it has oats in it and looks like Rava dosa actually. The pic of the crisp brown dosa is mouth watering 😛

    Thanks for the receipe
