Ingredients for Oats Idli Cups

• Oats flour: 40 grams
• Curd (yogurt): 50 grams
• Eno fruit salt: 0.25 pack (about 1 g)
• Carrot: ½ small (about 50 g), grated
• Salt: as per requirement
• Olive oil: 1 tsp (about 4.5 g)

Instructions for Oats Idli Cups (microwave)

1. In a mixing bowl, combine 40 g oats flour and 50 g curd. Stir to form a medium-thick batter. If batter is too thick, add 1–2 tbsp water — batter should be pourable but not runny.
2. Add the grated carrot and salt to taste. Mix well so the carrot is evenly distributed.
3. Cover the bowl and let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes to allow the oats to hydrate. This improves texture.
4. Right before cooking, sprinkle in 0.25 pack Eno and fold gently — you should see the batter become airy.
5. Lightly grease 2–3 microwave-safe silicone or ceramic idli cups / muffin cups with a little oil. Pour the batter into the cups, filling each about 3/4 full to leave room for rising.
6. Place the filled cups on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high for 2 to 3 minutes depending on your microwave wattage (2 min for 800–1000 W, up to 3 min for lower wattage). Cook until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean and the top feels springy.
7. Carefully remove cups (they will be hot). Let the idli cups sit for 1 minute, then turn out onto a plate or simply eat from the cup.
8. Serve hot with chutney, sambar, or a dollop of yogurt/olive oil. Enjoy!
