Oats Idli Recipe (Requires No Fermentation)
If you know of oats, as the undefeated champ of Oats Porridge with milk and fruits (maybe), then think twice! Because here’s a recipe that’s going to change that perspective of yours. This is an easy and Oats Idli recipe that results in light, fluffy and delicious idli for your comforting breakfasts or a hearty snack on-the-go. Made with oats, curd (yogurt), semolina, herbs, spices, and a leavening agent, this recipe requires no fermentation and is quick to prepare.
Why You’ll Love These Quick Oats Idli
Oats Idli is a soft, fluffy, and wholesome South Indian-style steamed cake made with a mix of powdered oats, rava (semolina), yogurt, and a light tempering of spices. It’s quick to prepare and perfect for healthy meals when you’re short on time.
This oatmeal idli recipe, made with your choice of oats, is another favorite oats recipe of mine. Similar to my Rava Idli Recipe, this oats idli recipe includes some rava (sooji, semolina or cream of wheat) in the batter, as well as oats of course.
Perfect for when you’re in a time crunch, oats idli is an instant version unlike the traditional South Indian Idli Recipe that is made with time-intensive method of soaking rice & lentils, grinding them and fermenting.
This oatmeal idli recipe, however, does require very less time than traditional idli recipe because it requires no fermentation process.
The recipe is very simple and also customizable. Because you can choose how many or how few veggies to add to your batter, this recipe is also easy to customize to suit many different diets and tastes.
Personally, I do enjoy adding a few veggies to the batter most of the time, but then there are certainly other times when I decide to make the idli without any vegetables at all.

How to Make Oats Idli
Make Oat Flour & Prep Ingredients
1. First place 1 cup of quick cooking oats or rolled oats in a grinder or blender.
2. Then grind or blend the oats to a fine flour and set aside.
3. Next, peel and grate 1 small to medium carrot.
4. Now, set aside all the herbs and spices you will needing. Make sure you add these ingredients (pictured below in clockwise order):
- ½ teaspoon cumin seeds
- ½ teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon chana dal (husked and split bengal gram)
- ½ teaspoon crushed black pepper
- 1 tablespoon of chopped coriander leaves (cilantro)
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped curry leaves
- 1 teaspoon of finely chopped ginger
- 1 teaspoon chopped green chilies
- 8 to 10 cashews that have been chopped
Make Tempering
5. Next heat ½ to 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan and heat it on a low to medium-low heat. Then when the oil is hot, add the ½ teaspoon cumin seeds, ½ teaspoon mustard seeds, and 1 teaspoon chana dal.
Note: If you are using urad dal (½ teaspoon), then you can add with this mixture, as well.
6. Now stir and mix.
7. Continue to fry on low to medium-low heat until the mustard seeds crackle and both the chana dal and urad dal become golden.
8. Next add the the following ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon of chopped green chilies
- 1 teaspoon of chopped ginger
- 1 teaspoon of finely chopped curry leaves
- 8 to 10 cashews, chopped
- ½ teaspoon of crushed black pepper
- 1 pinch of asafoetida (hing)
9. Continue to sauté for another minute on low heat.
Roast Rava & Oats Flour
10. Now add ½ cup of rava (sooji or cream of wheat) to the sautéed mixture. Use fine textured rava or sooji.
11. Then on a low to medium-low heat stir and roast the sooji for another 2 minutes.
12. After that, add the oats flour.
13. Mix very well and combine. Continue stirring often while the oats flour is roasting on a low to medium-low heat.
14. Stirring often roast for a total of about 4 to 5 minutes on a low to medium-low heat.
15. When finished, transfer the flour mixture into a mixing bowl and let it cool completely.
Make Oatmeal Idli Batter
16. While the oatmeal mixture cools, prepare the vegetables. If you have not grated the carrots, grate it and chop the coriander leaves.
You can also steam green peas or french beans to add to the batter. Then, when your mixture has cooled, add these ingredients and mix into the oatmeal idli mixture.
Note: You can skip adding any vegetables if preferred.
17. Next add ½ cup curd (yogurt).
18. Pour 1 cup of water.
19. Next stir and mix the oatmeal batter thoroughly. Ensure there are no lumps.
20. Keep in mind that the batter has a medium consistency. It should be neither too thick nor thin. So adjust the water accordingly.
When the consistency is right, cover and allow the batter to rest for 5 to 6 minutes.
Prepare Idli Moulds
21. Meanwhile, grease the idli moulds with some oil or ghee (clarified butter).
Place a small trivet/perforated plate in a 5 to 6 litre stovetop pressure cooker, large pot or pan, Instant Pot or electric rice cooker.
Add 1.5 to 2 cups water in the stovetop pressure cooker, large pot or pan, electric cooker or Instant pot and heat until the water comes to a boil.
You can also use the traditional idli steamer to steam oatmeal idli.
22. After the resting time, your oatmeal idli batter should have a medium and moist consistency. If the batter looks thick, add a few tablespoons of water and mix to combine.
Leaven Batter
23. Now add salt to taste and mix well.
24. Then add 1 teaspoon of fruit salt (eno) or ½ teaspoon of baking soda.
25. As soon as you add the fruit salt, quickly begin to stir the whole batter.
26. Be quick and stir very well so that the eno is mixed evenly in the oatmeal idli batter.
Steam Oats Idli
27. Now pour the oats idli batter into the greased idli moulds.
28. Next gently place the moulds on the trivet/perforated plate inside the large pot or pan, electric rice cooker, Instant Pot or pressure cooker.
Then cover and steam the oats idli until they are done, for about 10 to 12 minutes.
If using a pressure cooker, remove the vent weight (whistle) from the lid before sealing the cooker tightly with the lid.
For Instant pot, secure the lid and keep the valve in the “venting” position. Press the Steam button and steam for 10 to 12 minutes. Since pressure won’t build in venting mode, the timer may not start; so use a separate kitchen timer to track the steaming time manually. When done, unlock the lid and carefully remove the idli stand.
Note: Your oatmeal idli are cooked well when a toothpick inserted in the center of the idli comes out clean.
29. Remove the idli stand from the pot, cooker or Instant pot carefully using a kitchen towel or oven mitts.
Now allow the steamed idli to rest in the moulds for a few minutes. Then remove them with a spoon dipped in hot water.
Serve oats idli. So that they remain soft and moist, place the oatmeal idli in a covered container or inside a roti box.
Serving Suggestions
Serve oats idli hot or warm with Coconut Chutney, Onion Chutney, Tomato Chutney, Idli Podi or Sambar. These oats idli also make for a good tiffin box or lunchtime snack.
Storage and Leftovers
Keep leftover oatmeal idli in a covered container in the refrigerator. Reheat in a microwave sprinkling a few drops of water on them or you can steam them for 1 to 2 minutes in a pan or pot.
You can even pan fry or shallow fry them until crispy and golden. Serve the fried oatmeal idli with any dip like a tomato ketchup or Schezwan Sauce or Coriander Chutney.
Expert Tips
- Type of Oats: You can use rolled oats or quick-cooking oats. Both work well for soft, fluffy idlis. Rolled oats offer a slightly nutty flavor, especially if lightly roasted before grinding. Avoid instant or flavored oats, as they can affect the taste and texture.
- Suji/rava tip: For best results, use fine textured suji or rava (cream of wheat/semolina) in this Oats Idli recipe. Coarse rava may affect the softness and texture of the idlis.
- Soapy aroma tip: To reduce the soapy or alkaline aroma, you can use ½ teaspoon fruit salt or ¼ teaspoon baking soda instead. However, do note that the idli texture may turn out a bit less soft and fluffy with this substitution.
- To make the idlis more nutritious: You can add vegetables like steamed green peas, French beans, or grated carrots, beets to the batter. This step is optional—these oats idlis taste great even without any veggies.
- Batter usage tip: Try to use up the entire batter in one steaming batch. If the batter is kept aside for a second round, the idlis may not turn out as soft and fluffy.
- Steaming options: You can steam these idlis in a stovetop pressure cooker (without the whistle), large pot, Instant Pot, electric rice cooker, or a traditional idli steamer – whichever equipment you have.
- Prepare your idli meal: This Oats Idli recipe comes together quickly. While the idlis are steaming, you can prepare coconut chutney on the side. This way, you’ll have a wholesome and healthy breakfast ready in under 45 minutes.
FAQs
What is oats idli?
Oats idli is an instant variation of the traditional South Indian idli. It is made using oats flour, semolina (rava), yogurt, tempered spices and herbs, and is leavened with fruit salt or baking soda. There’s no need for fermentation, so it’s quicker to make.
What kind of curd should I use for oats idli?
You can use either fresh curd or slightly sour curd—both work well in this recipe.
What can I substitute for curd?
You can use a plant-based yogurt like cashew yogurt or almond yogurt. Among these, cashew yogurt has a milder taste and works better in this recipe.
Can I omit curd from this recipe?
Yes, you can skip the curd. Instead, add about ½ to 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to provide a light tang and support the acid-alkaline reaction needed for the batter to rise properly.

- Preparing chutney: The recipe of these instant oats idli gets done quickly. When the idli are steaming, prepare the Coconut Chutney, then you will have a healthy breakfast at your table in less than an hour.
- Vegan option: You can use a vegan yogurt like cashew yogurt or almond yogurt. Cashew yogurt will taste better in the recipe. Or just skip adding curd and add about ½ to 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to get a slight sour taste and also to help in the acid-alkaline reaction.

Oats Idli recipe from the blog archives was first published on May 2015.
Thanks Dassana for this recipe. Now, I can feed the goodness of oats to my kids without any fuss.
Most welcome and glad you liked the recipe.
Healthy Breakfast.
Hi. Is it necessary to use Rava too while preparing Oats Idli? I’m totally new to this, so I’m not aware. Also, I would like to know if roasting of Oats and Rava (if required to be added) can be skipped?
Yes, rava gives a better texture to the idli. The roasting cannot be skipped. I would suggest to roast both.
Instead of the oats roasting and grinding process, can I directly use oats atta (flour), may be roast that, if requires
Yes you can directly use oats flour and just lightly roast it.
Excellent recipe!! I have a quick question. Can we store this batter for a day or two?
avoid storing the batter. the taste and consistency both will change.
Why oats are always sticky,? my idlis came out sticky. Please help. I put one pinch baking soda instead of fruit salt
try steaming for some more time and increase the amount of baking soda.
I tried this recipie and its super awesome… the idly is soft and light.. thank you for sharing the recipie…
Welcome Neelam. Glad to know that you liked oats idli recipe.
Hi Dassana
Thankyou for a lovely recipe. I prepared the idlis for breakfast this morning and they were delicious. I just love all South Indian food. Will next try your ragi idli recipe. Thanks again.
Welcome Tasneem. Glad to know that you liked the oats idli recipe. ragi idli recipe also is very good.
Hi I tried this.. it turned out tasty but they didn’t come like yours.. they were not much firm and are like upma consistency. I have added 1cup finest sooji to 2 cups oats
whenever sooji is increased in any recipe, some care has to be taken. more sooji can make the food dense or hard or dry. so more liquids are needed in the recipe. so when doubling or tripling recipe with sooji, always add less sooji. thats the reason they were like upma consistency.
Hiiii..
I really want to thank you for this recipe..i tried it yesterday and it was super delicious..my hubby loved it so much..it was the best recipe i ever tried plus it was healthy too..
Welcome Mansi. Glad to know that both of you liked oats idli recipe. Thanks for this positive review.
Oats idli looks yummy… Thanks for the recipe 🙂
welcome saieswari. do try the recipe.
Hi,
I tried this recipe for a Sunday Breakfast. Its really simple and quick to make. The idlis turned out to be tasty. However, they were a little watery on one side and cooked well on the other. Do you have any advice on that?
thanks shubha. the water in the pan should not touch the idlis. if they touch the idli pan while boiling, the idlis will be watery from one side. otherwise i see no reason for the idlis to be watery.
Hi, Is it necessary to use baking soda, baking powder or eno? If I want to skip them, will it be fine? Will the recipe change?
garima, baking powder, baking soda or eno helps in leavening and make the idlis soft and light. you can skip also, but then the idlis will be slightly dense. if the denseness is fine with you, then you can skip. the recipe remains the same.
Oh I was thinking of making it for my kid who is less than an year old. So was not sure if leavening agents are fine at this age. You have any idea? Will little eno be ok?
garima, avoid eno or baking soda for small. their systems are very sensitive, so just skip them. these can cause stomach issues. just make the oats idlis without eno or baking soda.
Oats Idli is simply superb and delicious.
thank you brenda.
Could I cook a big batch and then freeze it to consume later?
since curd/yogurt is not used, i would not suggest to freeze the idlis. they are better consumed fresh.
Tried oats recipes
thankyou
These are the tastiest idli! I love how you don’t need to prepare the batter in advance. I prepare these almost every weekend.
pleased to know this thankyou leslie 🙂
Next on my to do list ,very grateful to you, what would I do without your amazing App!
thankyou so much mala 🙂
Hi,
Very yummy… Thanks for the recipe.. please suggest instead of Curd what can be used as doctor advised me not to eat curd in any form.
Thank you…
Regards
gul, you can substitute lemon juice in this recipe instead of curd. just add 2 tbsp lemon juice along with water to make the batter. you will need to add more water than what is mentioned in the recipe.
I tried oats idlis and they were superb. I haven’t tried making idlis by fermentation method . I always make rava idlis. They always turn out soft. Will fermented idlis be more tasty and soft. Also thanks for the oats idli recipe.
thanks kaur for the feedback. compared to the quick idlis, fermented idlis are more softer in texture. the fermentation process makes them healthy too. just today i made poha idlis and they were so soft and fluffy. i will add the recipe also. try making a small batch of idli batter. you will get an idea as how to the batter ferments and rises. preparing idli is very easy. once you get the hang of making them, you can always have soft idlis for breakfast 🙂
Hi Dassana,

welcome sneha
Hi,
I have been following your blog since long time..I tried the dal recipes and now I want to start with these breakfast recipes. I am stuck in parathas, upma, poha rut. I want more options. I want to try the oats idli but can I skip the tadka and make plain idli? What changes should I make?
Also, I have some store bought mava. I dont want to make guabjamun/malpua(fried). What else can I make with it? I wanted to make pedha but it became a dhodha(reddish with coarse chewy texture..I guess you know this. Its eaten in Punjab.) Any suggestions are welcome.
Thank you,
Sushma
Sushma, you can skip the tadka part. avoid mustard seeds, chana dal, urad dal and directly add the other spices herbs in the batter. But roast the oats flour and sooji lightly. You can also roast the oats first and then grind into flour. Whatever suits you.
With mawa you can make barfi. Plain barfi or with dry fruits. Just saute crumbled or grated khoya in a pan. Add powdered sugar and cook till mixture leaves sides of pan. then remove and spread in a thali or pan. If using sugar then you can cook the mawa with sugar. You can also make mawa cake or muffins. Or make a sabzi with matar or cashews or makhana. Kulfi can also be made. You can also make gajar or beetroot or lauki halwa.
I never knew how to cook until my son started eating. Bt now i make something new everyday. Ur recipies are simple n easy to make. I make almost everything now.Vegetables…Oats Idli…Dosa…Masala Vadas… Some sweets for Diwali…tifin items… snacks. Thank u so much.
welcome neha. glad to know this.
I Tried Your Many Recipies Specially From Kids Recipies .My Three Year Old Kiddo Just Loved All Of Them. Right now I m feeding him oats dosa which is from your blog and u know he ate two and half …They are small not big one but I really wanna thank you …you are amazing … m definitely gonna try oats idli too. ..
welcome meeti. glad to know this.
hello mam,
idli came out superbly tasty and my daughters tiffin was finely finished!!!!
I am big fan of your recipes and equally appreciate the simple way of yours narrating n explaining it!!!
very appreciable effort from you both…..thank u for this blog…!!!!
welcome neha. nice to know this. thanks for your positive feedback.
Hi.. Idlis came out very tasty…I want to know how much eno needs to be added to the batter… I used one sachet of eno… But the idlis didn’t come fluffy…
one sachet of eno is more than enough. could be that the eno was not fresh, meaning not active. same amount of eno to be used as mentioned in the recipe.
Hi dassna…!
Ur recipes r really simple , quick to make & with gr8 taste….step by step process really helps if any part missed in between….today I tried oats idli & came out v well…but want to ask that if v roast oats doesn’t it lose its nutritional value….
Keep posting 🙂 !
No it doesnt as the oats are getting roasted lightly.
I am a big fan of yours. Your recipes are superb. I tried oats idli today and have a question on the same. Can i prepare the batter ahead of time like morning for evening idli. Problem is i want to use this for lunch and dinner. Thanks
thank you shruti. you can prepare the batter and keep in the frigde. then just check the consistency before preparing as the batter will thicken a bit after being refrigerated for some hours. add fruit salt or baking soda just before you steam the idlis.
What can i add instead of curd? i´m vegan. 🙂
shalini, you can use a vegan yogurt like cashew yogurt or almond yogurt. cashew yogurt will taste better. or just skip adding curd and add about 1/2 to 1 tsp of lemon juice to get a slight sour taste and also to help in the acid alkaline reaction.
Prepared oats idly today.. It was superrb.. Even tried ur mint pulav… The taste was excellent.. Thanks a lot for receipes..
welcome shravanti. nice to know this.
hi umm you’ve been a great teacher to me for the last 2 months, love your recipes. i have a question though can we use anything else instead of dahi/curd, because my father doesn’t eat dairy products but this seems like a really healthy and delicious recipe. it’d be nice to get it to his mouth as well. great job though it’s absolutely beautiful.
thanks shashank. dahi or curd helps in making the idlis soft and also give a sour taste to them. just skip the dahi. add water and just add a bit of lemon or lime juice. to introduce acidity in the batter. the eno or baking soda will react with the lemon juice and make the batter fluffy. you can add about 1 tbsp of lemon juice.
hi, can we replace rava with anything else? Can i add wheat rava/dalia instead of plain rava?
you can replace rava with idli rava. dalia also can be added, but the texture will be different.
thanks for sharing such wonderful recipes. I tried Wheat pizza taste was awesome but i think i did some mistake as my base became soggy. Can u please guide wht was wrong. I baked in OTG on the fan mode.
Regards
Seema

I have tried making oats idlis once but that Eno taste was very strong. And without Eno, it became too hard. But I’ll try again using your recipe. I’ve been told to eat body-cooling foods like ragi. Do you have any easy ragi recipes?
