          This Oats Dosai has been common, nearly for the last one decade but not in our menu for some reasons.  Now various combinations were tried by me for past 6 months and found one easy and good recipe. The taste is very good and Oats is recommended very much,especially as a low carb food item.

Pachaipayaru Kuzhambu

              This gravy was learnt from one of my collegues.  This is very popular in Coimbatore and is known that Pachaipayaru is also very good for health. Most of the people dry roast  the Payaru and pressure cook. My preference is to soak the Payaru for 4 to 5 hours and then cook for 2 or 3 whistles. That seems soft and tasty for me. Nowadays, once in a week, the grain is soaked and sprourted by me. That is used for salads, sundal and gravy. This Kuzhambu tastes very well, mixed with hot rice, ghee and a little bit spicy Poriyal as a side dish or with Vathal or vadagam.
