To make oats idli, you need 1 cup oats, 1/2 cup rava, 1/2 to 3/4 cup curd, about 1 cup water, 1/2 cup grated carrot, 1-2 chopped green chilies, 2 spoons coriander leaves, salt, and 1/2 teaspoon Eno fruit salt or baking soda, along with tempering ingredients like oil, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, urad dal, chana dal, curry leaves, ginger, and a pinch of turmeric powder.
First dry roast oats until crisp, let them cool, and coarsely grind them. Heat oil in a pan, make a tempering with mustard seeds, cumin seeds, urad dal, chana dal, curry leaves, grated ginger, green chili, turmeric, and carrots. Mix the ground oats, semolina, curd, salt, tempering, coriander leaves, and water into a thick batter, cover, and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.
