Oats paniyaram, oats kara paniyaram recipe with step by step photos. Tasty, spicy and healthier alternate to regular paniyarams.
This is not an out and out oats recipe, but added with lots of lentils/protein. So it's added advantage right? I tried this paniyaram last week and just loved it. This is somewhat like the kara paniyaram recipe I have in my archive, but I replaced rice with oats, it tasted really awesome.
The paniyarams turns out so so soft. In fact, I don’t make any oats recipes which tastes sweet as I cant even eat two mouths and love to try different savoury recipes with oats. Have it for breakfast (soak lentils over night), or dinner or even as an evening snack, you will love it!
🥘Paniyaram
Paniyarams are low fat version of deep fried things. Also you can shallow fry with the paniyaram pan/ appe pan. It turns out super crispy since we cook the batter in the shallows with oil. The oil level is in our control. so just greasing also works. Oats is perfect and turns out good when made in paniyaram form. Besides, being spicy version, it's really good to eat.
⭐Ingredient
My favorite star ingredient in this recipe is asafoetida. Dal and asafoetida compliment each other. So that's why this recipe works and I highly recommend too.
Some people do not like fennel seeds, so you can replace with cumin seeds in that case.
📖 Variations
- You can add reduce toor dal to half the quantity, skip moong dal as well.
- Add coconut - either grated or chopped for a beautiful texture as well as taste and flavor.

Hey Raks
very healthy one, perfect for the breakfast.
I too make the super fast Paniyaram, with fine semolina, oats and curds. you can make it within 15 minutes.

Hi Raji... i too don't like sweet oats & always look for some savory recipes of oats... this sounds interesting & delicious... will this be sticky inside as oats have a gelatinous texture?
Sukanya Ramkumar
Very interesting and healthy recipe Looks so good Will try it for sure. Love all types of paniyarams... YUM!
RAKS KITCHEN
Divya it wont be sticky definitely, as dal is more than oats,instead its more soft inside...
Prathibha

They look very soft and porous. Oats for breakfast, cooked in porride is quite boring when eaten regularly. This one is excellent variation and filled with the nutrition of legumes too.

You have a lovely blog and the paniyaram looks soft and puffy. Good idea to eat oats in different way instead of daily porridges.

hey...can we make this immediately or do we need to give it time to ferment? wharf about your other paniyaram recesses do they need to ferment as well?
RAKS KITCHEN
If possible just let it sit for 2-3 hours. Thats it. No need to ferment.

looks delicious and good presentation
Sarada Subramaniam
Do we need to deep fry it? And my paniyaram pan is a new one...so when I make anything(appam or paniyaram)it sticks into the pan....can u suggest a solution for this?
Raks anand
Add lots of oil for first few times. Never use soap/ any kitchen cleaning/ vessel cleaning thing to clean for some time, there should be oil in the pan all the time. It should not get dry. Wash the rice you are going to cook everyday and pour the water you drain over the paniyaram pan. My mom says that will make it useable sooner. again, Use lots of oil that will help. You can make adai with the same batter, you can try that for emergency.
Sarada Subramaniam
Thanks a lot .....

Hi, I love following your recipes, I've learned a lot from here. I just noticed your image for this recipe has a masaai statue next to the dish. It was a pretty cool image. That's originally from Africa, and that's where I belong.
