Preparation Time
Preparation - 5 mins
Steaming - 10 mins
Ingredients:
Oats - 1 cup (rolled/ powdered)
Mustard seeds - 1 tsp
Urud dhal - 1 tsp
Curry leaves - 1 spring
Hing - Pinch
Water - 1/4 cup
Salt to taste
Grated coconut - 1/4 cup (optional)
Oil to temper
Method:
1) Heat a pan, add 2 - 3 tsp oil, once heated add mustard, urud dhal, curry leaves, hing and let it splatter.
2) To this add oats, mix well. At this point you can add coconut if desired. Add salt as required and water little by little.
3) Put out the flame and let it cool for 2 - 3 mins. If the oat mixture is little stick, it is the correct stage to make kolukattai.
4) Take a small lemon sized ball of the mixture in your palm and press evenly with your four fingers.
5) Lay all of them in idly plates and steam for 10 mins.
6) Serve hot for good taste.
Notes:
1) Add water little by little or it will become mushy.
2) I use old fashioned Quaker oats. If using different type of oats check while adding water.
3) Should not keep kolukattai open after steaming.
4) You can also add vegetables (carrot, beans - chopped) to add flavor and color.
