Hi All, Now a days eating oats is making a lot of hype for good health and to control our cholesterol levels etc. I have been hearing a lot about different recipes made from oats like oat porridge, oat upma etc. Everyone is going gaga over introducing oats in their meals especially breakfast. Also, heard of something called Oat Idly but didn't know what actually will be the right recipe of it. For example, in rice Dal idly, urad Dal binds the rice but it oats idly, do we have to use Dal to prepare it? Can anyone share the correct recipe with the measure of each ingredient, if you have tried it. Thanks a lot.
