Cracked Wheat and Oats Adai

IMG_8678

After Cracked Wheat Idli, it has been a while since I posted (actually, cooked) anything with cracked wheat.  Thought of preparing Cracked Wheat Pongal and soaked moong dal, and then I realized I had only 1/2 cup of cracked wheat. I soaked toor Dal as well, along with moong Dal, and decided to try Uthappam with cracked wheat, dal and oats (I named Uthappam, as its texture resembled the soft Uthappam). To my surprise, it was a winner and hubby couldn’t believe that I used cracked wheat and made instant uthappam!

    Hey, I made this recipe today morning for breakfast. I made with ghee and served with sambar. It was very tasty, I found a trick to serve cracked wheats to my hubby who generally does not like them. Thanks dear!!

    still learning from you–hadn’t realized there were different kinds of lentils. Only knew of red, brown, and green. ?? These look crazy good. Comforting and healthy 🙂

      Malar, with Dal I thought will name them Adai but texture reminded me Uthappam so changed my mind. Oats Uthappam? Nice waiting for your post, will try soon

      • Malar August 4, 2014 at 4:58 PM

        Totally it is just like uthappam 🙂 Will bring on mine soon dear 🙂

      • Traditionally Modern Food August 4, 2014 at 9:44 PM

        Sure dear. You and my Amma think alike. Even she was telling its Adai. Infact we where debating whether its Adai or Uthappam;-) now I am confused:-p

      • Malar August 4, 2014 at 10:11 PM

        I will go for adai 😛

      • Traditionally Modern Food August 4, 2014 at 10:13 PM

        My Mom also voted for Adai:-)

      • Malar August 4, 2014 at 10:16 PM

    Very healthy. . Fermentation vendama??

    • Traditionally Modern Food August 4, 2014 at 3:56 PM Reply

      Srividhya, since Urad Dal is not used fermentation is not required can cook the batter immediately after grinding

      • srividhya August 4, 2014 at 4:07 PM

        Oh ok..
