It’s no secret – everyone knows the goodness of oats. But not many people know that it is versatile and can blend with almost any type of recipe.
If you are someone who looks at oats only as a porridge then it’s time you wake up and smell the roses. Out of many recipes in the a booklet about oats I recently received, these pancakes/uttappam caught my eye. A very simple recipe to make, but it tastes sumptuous.

Instructions
- Grind the oats in a mixer to a coarse powder.
- In a large bowl, mix the ground oats, wheat flour, salt, and asafoetida powder.
- Add enough water to the mixture to achieve a thick pouring consistency. Beat well and set aside for 10 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, combine grated paneer, chopped green chillies, grated carrot, and chopped cilantro for the topping.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease with oil.
- Pour a ladleful of batter onto the pan and spread it into a small circle.
- Sprinkle the paneer and carrot mixture evenly over the top of the batter.
- Drizzle a little oil around the edges and cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
- Flip the uttappam and cook for another 2 minutes until the other side is cooked and the toppings are slightly golden.
- Remove from the pan and serve hot.
Notes
You can store leftover batter in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Feel free to adjust the spice level by adding more or fewer green chillies. Serve with chutney or sambar for a complete meal.
