Oats Tomato Omelette

Oats Tomato Omelette
Tomato Omelette as we all know is a besan based pancake. Addition of oats makes it healthier as well as gives it a nice crusty feel. It is a good alternative for vegetarians who do not eat eggs. It is very easy and quick to make and serves as an anytime-filling snack.

Ingredients-

1.5 cups Oats grinded in the Mixer Grinder to form a fine powder

1 cup - Besan / Gram flour

1 cup Onion, finely chopped
1 cup Tomatoes, finely chopped

2 teaspoon Ginger + Garlic Paste
2 medium Green chillies finely chopped

3/4 cup - Coriander leaves, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon – Turmeric Powder
1/2 teaspoon - Red chili powder
1/4 teaspoon – Carom Seeds (Ova / Ajwain)
½ teaspoon Cumin Powder
½ teaspoon Coriander powder
A pinch of Asafoetida (Hing)
Salt to taste
Water (approximately 2 cups. Adjust the quantity so as to form a batter which is a little thinner than the normal dosa batter)
Oil – 1 teaspoon for the batter + for making the Omelette
 

Method -

1 ) Mix besan and oats powder in a mixing bowl. Add chopped onions, tomatoes, ginger + garlic paste, coriander leaves, chopped green chillies, all the spices, 1 teaspoon oil and salt to taste. Mix all the ingredients very well. Add water little by little and keep mixing simultaneously so as to ensure that no lumps are formed. The batter should be of dosa batter consistency.
 

2 ) Heat a non-stick Tava. Grease with little oil. When the Tava is hot, add a ladleful of the batter and spread in circular motion. Then drizzle some oil on the top and the sides. Cover the Tava with a lid for around a minute. Bubbles will start forming on the batter and the bottom will start turning golden brown in color. Using a spatula, turn the pancake over and cook on both sides evenly.

3) Once done, top it with butter and serve hot with toasted bread, Tomato Ketchup and green chutney.
