First of all, make oats flour as stated above and keep it ready.
In a mixing bowl mix curd, rava and oats flour together and make a smooth paste. Keep it aside for 10 min.

Consistency should be like idli batter. So adjust water accordingly. I used almost 1 cup of water to get the idli batter like consistency.
Let them cool down a bit before cutting them.
Add baking soda just before pouring and everything is ready
