Take a non stick Pan and dry roast masala oats for 30 to 45 seconds. Keep them aside.
When cool down grind them to a fine powder.
Take a bowl and add all the ingredients including powdered masala oats, semolina, turmeric, curd and salt. Mix them properly.
Now add water and make a batter of Idli consistency.
Mix the batter properly so that there remains no lamps.We added onion at this stage. You can add earlier even. Mix again.
Cover the bowl with lid and keep it aside for at least 10 minutes.
In the meantime add water to your steamer and put it on a flame for boiling. Also grease your Idli mould with oil.
After 10 minutes remove the lid of bowl and add ENO salt in the batter. Mix the batter properly and with the help of a spoon, pour the better into the Idli mould one by one.
Place the Idli mould into the steamer and steam for at least 10 to 15 minutes.
To check the done-ness of idlis, take a toothpick and insert it into the Idli. If it comes out clean that means your Idli is ready.
Invert the Idli and serve it hot with the chutney of your liking.
