Buttermilk Oats (Mor Kazhi)

Mor (Buttermilk) kazhi is usually prepared using rice flour but I replaced it with oats flour to make it bit interesting for my kids. This recipe is very simple, quick and healthy.

Ingredients - Serves 4

• Quick cooking oats flour - 2 cups
• Butter milk - 2 cups
• Mustard seeds - 1 tsp
• Bengal gram dhal - 1 tsp
• Urad dhal - 1 tsp
• Mor milagai - 2 nos (or dry chillies)
• Asafoetida - pinch
• Curry leaves - few
• Salt to taste
• Oil - 1 tblsp

Method

• Soak oats flour in butter milk for 5 minutes with required salt (add water to the flour if required to make it into a dosa batter consistency)
• Heat a non-stick pan with oil and add mustard seeds
• When it pops add urad dhal, bengal gram dhal, curry leaves, mor milagai ( this is nothing but  green chillies soaked in yogurt with salt and sun dried) and asafoetida
• Fry till dhal turns golden brown
• Now add soaked oats and mix well
• Cook in medium flame for 5 to 10 minutes
• Serve hot with sambar or pickel

Note - oats flour - just grind the quick cooking oats in a mixer to make flour
