Super Quick Oats Idly




A very nutritious Breakfast for those kids who don't like porridge. I bet, your kids will not be able to spot the Yeeks ingredient in here. They are soft and delicious. A new addition to your breakfast list.

I was waiting to see Sabu's (my daughter) reaction. She can very well identify the Ingredients but this time no way. She kept asking me what is this made of. Finally after she finished her breakfast I told her the secret ingredient and she was like really. It was nice, Okay okay. Thank god she said it was okay. That's like a YES for my new addition to the breakfast list.

2 1/2 Cups Oats
1/2 Cup Semolina
1 Cup Yoghurt
1/2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Eno
2 cups of water


Whisk all the above ingredients to make a smooth batter.

Grease the small idly steel bowls, pour batter.

Steam it in a Idly steamer for 10 Minutes.


Serve with Onion Tomato Chutney. I could just eat it plain.

Onion Tomato Chutney

1/2 onion
1 red dry chilly

Grind the above to a smooth paste.

Take a pan, heat 1 tbsp oil, add 1/2 tsp mustard seeds let it splutter. Add 3-4 curry leaves.


Add the ground puree. Cook on slow flame for 5 minutes.

Chutney is ready to be served.

Oats & Wheat Flour Pancakes


We love pancakes that are drenched with maple syrup & butter. Tried many recipes but couldnt get anything closer to the pancakes from McDonalds’, just love them. Yummmm. Finally I got a recipe which is nice soft & fluffy and It’s healthy too which can be made in a jiffy. Makes 6 pancakes.

Ingredients :

1 Cup Quaker Oats
1 Cup wheat Flour
1 ½ cup Skimmed Milk
¼ cup Oil
2 tbsp Sugar
2 tsp Eno salt
2 Eggs


Put all the above ingredients in a blender or just whisk it to a smooth batter.
Take 2 big serving spoonful of batter and put it on a hot non stick pan for 2-3 minutes until it starts blistering now turn the other side and leave it for another minute. Serve the pancakes with butter and maple syrup. If you don’t have maple syrup you can also enjoy it with some chocolate syrup or just apply any jam that you prefer and enjoy…….. What a delicious healthy breakfast.
