Why Try Rolled Oats Dosa?
Dosa using rolled oats is a simple recipe. The mild taste of oats comes on one hand and on the other, the rice flour brings in the crispiness.

Ingredients for Rolled Oats Dosa
Makes 6–8 dosas:
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- ½ cup rice flour
- ¼ cup Semolina (Rawa/Suji)
- 1 green chili, finely chopped
- 1 tsp Cumin Seeds (Jeera)
- Ginger, chopped very fine, ½ in.
- 2 tbsp chopped coriander leaves
- ½ tsp Cracked Black Pepper
- ½ tsp Salt (to taste)
- Water 2½–3 cups
- Oil as needed
Optional Add-Ins:
- ¼ cup chopped onion, minced
- 1 grated small carrot
- 1 tbsp curry leaves, chopped
- A dash of hing
- 1-2 tbsp finely chopped green vegetables
The batter should be thin and pouring consistency not thick like regular dosa batter.
How to Make Rolled Oats Dosa
Step 1: Prepare the Rolled Oats
Put rolled oats in a blender and pulse until powdered finely. You can soak the oats in water prior to blending to allow for a softer batter.
Step 2: Mix the Ingredients
Sift the powdered rolled oats, the rice flour and semolina in a large mixing bowl. Add cumin seeds, green chilies, ginger, black pepper, coriander leaves and salt to it. Mix well.
Step 3: Prepare the Batter
Gradually add water, stirring continuously. Give the batter a nice, thin, pourable consistency. Allow the batter to stand undisturbed for 10 to 15 minutes.
Let it sit now. Verify the thickness and add a little more water if necessary.
Step 4: Heat the Tawa
Heat dosa tawa or flat non stick pan on medium heat. Once it has become hot, prepare the dosa. Lightly grease the surface with a few drops of oil.
Step 5: Pour the Dosa
The flour and oats tend to settle at the bottom, so stir the batter before making every dosa. When you pour the batter, just pour it like a whirlpool that gets thicker and thicker toward the center; do not spread it like a dosa.
Spread a thin layer with small holes on the dosa.
Step 6: Cook Until Crispy
Splash a bit of oil all around the dosa and the edges of it. Cook on a medium flame till the bottom of the dosa gets golden and crisp. If the dosa is thin and has a good setting, you needn’t flip it.
Step 7: Serve Hot
Once the corners turn golden and the dosa slides off easily from the tawa, you can fold or roll the dosa and serve hot right away. Enjoy with Coconut chutney, Tomato chutney or Mint chutney or hot Sambar.
How Do You Make Rolled Oats Dosa Crispy?
The most critical elements in achieving crispy dosas are the batter consistency and the temperature of the tawa.
Here are some simple tips:
- Keep batter thin and pourable.
- Let the batter sit for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Stir the batter before each dosa.
- When the tawa is hot.
- Don't make the batter too thick.
- Add a little oil around the edges.
- Cook slowly over medium heat.
- Don't keep flipping the dosa.
- To help improve crispness use rice flour or semolina.
If the batter is too thick while making dosas, add a little water and mix it again.
Can You Add Other Ingredients?

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I make dosa with rolled oats?
Oh yes, the rolled oats flour can also be milled together with rice flour and other ingredients to make a thin batter for the dosas. The batter for crispy dosas should be thin enough to pour.
2. Why is my rolled oats dosa not crispy?
A thick batter, low tawa temperature or spreading the batter too heavily can make dosa less crispy. Keep the batter thin and cook the dosa on a hot tawa.
3. Do rolled oats need to be soaked for dosa?
No soak needed if you grind the rolled oats fine into powder. It is also a good to have a short rest time for your batter after you have mixed it, to have all the ingredient get soaked properly.
4. How should leftover Rolled Oats Dosa be stored?
Let the dosa cool down completely and store it in the fridge in an airtight container. Heat on tawa or air fryer to bring back some of the crispness
