| Oats Indian Breakfast recipe |
Oats Puttu, a perfect light breakfast recipe that is delicious and healthy at the same time. I love eating oats in any form, yes you heard me right I love oats and always try to incorporate oats into our diet. When I saw this recipe I had to try it and I instantly fell in love with it. Although I don't have a puttu maker I did steam cook the puttu in my cooker. Nevertheless the taste was so good I could not taste the flour of oats and something about this recipe the puttu is so soft and yummy. I am sharing a sweet version today and refer notes to find a savory alternative. For more delicious oats recipes check out the end of this post :)

TIP 1
1. I served the puttu with sugar and banana. If you are diabetic or prefer to skip sugar you can serve puttu with any spicy Indian curry. Also the puttu can be made into a upma by tempering mustard seeds, channa dal, urad dal, curry leaves and green chilli.
TIP 2
2. Original recipe calls for quick oats but I used rolled oats. The only difference is while using rolled oats dry roast the oats for 3 minutes and then powder it.
TIP 3
3. Pulsing the prepared oats puttu powder helps to remove the lumps in the puttu mix. This is a quick fix and works like a charm.
TIP 4
4. Mix water into the flour mix little by little if you pour a lot of water the result will be a dough and not a moist powder.
TIP 5
5. Always use freshly grated coconut for making puttu.
