- For oats omelette, dry roast rolled oats until they turn crisp. Cool them completely and blend to a fine powder without adding any water.
- Transfer the powdered oats into a large mixing bowl, add rava for binding, and curd and water.
- Whisk and mix to make a smooth lump-free batter. Add turmeric, ginger paste, chilli, cumin powder and pepper powder. Then add onions, tomatoes, carrots and salt.
- Mix well, forming a thick flowing consistency for the omelette batter.
- Heat a pan or tawa and grease it with oil. Pour the batter and spread gently.
- Cover and allow it to cook on a medium flame for a minute. Now flip and cook both sides pressing gently. Your oats omelette is ready to serve with green chutney.
- For pudina chutney, simply blend pudina leaves, shengdana, garlic, chillies, lemon, sugar, salt and ½ cup water in a mixer (if you feel the consistency is very thick, add ¼ cup of water).
