PROTEIN PACKED SNACK~OATS CHEELA!

You all must be wondering that besan cheela/poora is what everyone is familiar with but Oats cheela, unheard of na??Well this recipe was born when I got sick of having oats with milk,I am sure you also must have felt that way :). I wanted to incorporate this cholesterol lowering high-fibre food into my daily diet so I came up with this lovely crispy snack that is great anytime and really healthy, try it!!...



  • Quaker Instant oats-1/2 cup (grind to a powder in the mixie)

  • Gram flour (besan)-2 tablespoons

  • Curd-1 tbsp

  • Green chillies-2 finely chopped

  • Sesame seeds- to sprinkle over

  • Curry leaves-a handful finely chopped

  • Cottage cheese(crumbled)-1/2 cup


In a large bowl combine all the above ingredients and add water little by little, stirring all the time so that no lumps are formed and it turns into a smooth dosa-like batter, season with salt.Now heat a non-stick pan and smear with very little oil, spread out the prepared mixture like a pancake or dosa, let cook till coloured on both sides, sprinkle some sesame seeds and cottage cheese and fold over, serve hot with ketchup.Perfect for a rainy day! so this healthy snack is off to Shanthi for her event-Lovely Winter Recipes

  1. Bindiya, this sounds delicious. I love oats (not the traditional porridge style, though) and this is something I shall try.
    Your eggless cake looks very good, btw. Mayonnaise, that's a thought. :)
