Savory Oats Crepes

For the final day of BM #6, we were randomly paired with another blogger from the theme.I was paired with KAlyani of What’s Cooking??. Keeping up with the theme for this marathon, I searched for something with oats in her blog and found quite a few.Some of them were bakes so I settled for this savory Oats crepes or Healthy Oats Dosa.

Though I already have an Instant Oats Dosa in my blog, Kalyani’s version was a little different and I am really glad that I tried it. I made very few changes in the recipe,like I made a paste of green chillies , coriander and ginger instead of adding it straight away into the batter. Little Angel is not fond of biting into these stuffs when she has a meal and I found this a better way to incorporate the flavors.Also Kalyani soaked the oats and then ground it I powdered the oats and then let it sit for a few minutes..Apart from this I pretty much followed the recipe as it is.
