How to prepare?

1. The steps are simple, and you don't need to spend hours in the kitchen. Here's how you can make this healthy dish:

2. Start by heating oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, urad dal, chana dal, curry leaves, and green chili. Let everything sizzle for a bit.

3. Add semolina (rava) and stir it well with the tempering. Cook for a couple of minutes, making sure nothing burns.

4. Next, mix in the grated carrot and let it cook slightly so it softens a bit.

5. Now add the oat flour along with salt and give everything a good mix. Stir the dry mixture until it releases a slightly nutty aroma.

6. Remove from the heat and transfer the mixture to a bowl. Add water slowly, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Let this batter rest for about 15-20 minutes.

7. Grease idli moulds with a bit of oil and pour in the batter. Steam the idlis for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are firm and cooked through.

Serve these fluffy, soft idlis with sambar, coconut chutney, or even your preferred mint dip when they're done.  They are ideal for anyone who wants to eat healthily without sacrificing flavor and make a satisfying but light breakfast.
