Many times when I don’t have dosa batter and am lazy enough to make chapathi,I rack my brains to prepare some form of instant dosa.Long back I made these instant oats – sago dosa and now its being sent to Niloufer for her Cooking with seeds-Sago,an event started by Priya.This dosa was super soft and very delicious.



 I used :

Quick cooking Oats- 1 1/2 cups
Sooji / White Rava-1 cup
Sago -1/2 cup,soaked in warm water
Eno fruit salt -1 small sachet
Sour curd-1 cup
Salt to taste

  1. Roast oats in a pan and powder.Similarly roast suji and keep aside.
  2. In a bowl put in powdered oats ,rava,soaked sago,curd,salt.Add more water to make a batter.It should not be too watery.
  3. Just before making the dosa,dissolve Eno in a little water and add to the batter.It will bubble up and the batter will turn light.Let it sit for 5 minutes.
  4. Pour a ladleful of batter on a heated griddle and spread.
  5. Drizzle oil around the edges and cover and cook till the edges leave the side of the griddle
  6. Flip it over and cook for 2 minutes.
  7. If the batter turns thick in between,add more water.
  8. Serve hot with a chutney / sambar.

Yummy oats-sago dosa served with tomato gravy.

Note :
I used a fine variety of sago so I just soaked it for 15 minutes.Depending on the variety of sago used,soak till it is soft.

Bon Appetit…

  1. Thanks Satya.

    Sailaja,I did not grind or mash the sago.I used a finer[smaller] variety that needs to be soaked for just 15 minutes.The dosa 'showed' the sago pearls but was not lumpy.If u use the other variety maybe we should mash it a bit.Do try it and let me know Sailaja

  2. -Priya,the dosa was very soft.If you want a crisy one,add rice flour to the batter.I tried it once when Lil angel wanted crispy dosas and it was great ๐Ÿ™‚

  3. Wanted to tell you I made these for breakfast this morning!
    I soaked the sago in very hot water for about 1/2 hour and added it to the batter. It didn't show in the dosas at all.

    I also added chopped ginger, onions, green chillies and coriander and they came out soft with a crisp edge, like uthappams.

    No one would know there was oats there! Thanks. ๐Ÿ™‚
