Oats dhokla is the instant dhokla recipe with oats flour, semolina and curd in equal portions, which is a savory and steamed snack or a great breakfast or a great meal in itself. Seasoned with mustard seeds, curry leaves and green chilies this oats dhokla is a perfect guilt-free food to consume.
Dhokla is a popular Gujarati dish which is prepared by making a dal-rice mixture by soaking, grinding and finally fermenting which is very time-consuming. Instant oats dhokla is a fusion dhokla recipe which is prepared in just 20 minutes without any need for fermentation. Fruit salt or baking soda helps to make it fluffy, spongy and light. Oats is a very healthy and nutritious ingredient. Rich in fiber which helps in reducing cholesterol level. Since it is a low glycemic index food, it is good for people with diabetes.
How to make oats flour First dry roast the rolled oats and let them come to room temperature. Just ground it to fine powder and store in airtight container. Finally this oats powder you can use in making flatbread, in baking, smoothies, ice cream to name a few.
Dhokla is one dish which I found a very versatile. You can add vegetable puree, change adding new flour in rava and a new version of dhokla gets ready. To make this oats dhokla I took my ragi dhokla recipe. Just replaced ragi with oats flour and rest of the ingredients are same.
For making this I used baking soda, you can add eno as well. Eno makes the batter more airy and fluffy as compared to baking soda so the result will be different. I forgot to add sesame seeds in tempering that is why you will not see sesame seeds in photos.

Your dhoklas are making me crave! They have come out soft and fluffy! I used to make Dhoklas often as you said they are so versatile! I used to make different versions, when my kids were little! I love dhoklas especially khaman dhokla, but nobody fancies in my home sadly! Can you pass on the plate for me please!
