OAT PANCAKE AND MORE AWARD

Hello everyone...

Pancake is quite simple to prepare but it is time consuming if you were to cook for large families since you have to fry it one by one. Pancake could be taken with sweet topping either with honey or maple syrup and another one eaten with hot spicy gravy which is what I have prepared today. We ate this with sambar and chutney. We truly enjoyed our simple and healthy meal.

INGREDIENTS

1 cup rolled oat (grind)
1/2 cup whole wheat flour (atta)
2 cups water
2 green chili chopped
2 tablespoons chopped coriander leaves
salt to taste
olive oil for greasing

METHOD

1. Combine together oat, flour, green chili, coriander leaves and salt in a mixing bowl.

2. Gradually add water, stir until well mixed. Keep for 30 minutes.

3. Heat a non stick pan, add one teaspoon oil then pour a ladleful of batter, same method when you cook dosa, when bubble appears on top flip and cook the other side.

4. Continue the process until the batter is used up.

5. Serve hot with your favorite gravy. Enjoy!
