| Curd/Natural yogurt | 8 Tablespoon | |
| Salt | To Taste | |
| Baking soda | 1/2 Teaspoon | |
| Hing | 1/4 Teaspoon (asafetida) | |
| Ghee | 1/4 Teaspoon (for greasing) | |

| Sunflower oil | 1 Teaspoon | |

| Chopped green chili | 3 Gram (about 3 small) | |
| Chopped coriander leaves | 7 Gram (about a handful) |
Directions
GETTING READY
1. Heat a pan in low heat and add the instant oats. Dry roast for about 10 minutes and when cooled, powder in a blender and keep aside.
2. In the same pan, dry roast the suji until slightly browned. Keep aside (you may skip this step if you are already using roasted suji)
MAKING
3. Heat oil in the pan and splutter mustard seeds. To this add the grated carrots and green chilies; sauté until the raw smell of carrots is gone and it becomes tender.
4. Add the coriander leaves, mix in well and remove from heat.
Even the above 2 steps can be done beforehand; that is the previous night and to save time, you can start with point 5 the next morning.
5. Take a mixing bowl with the powdered oats and suji in it. Add the rest of the ingredients along with the vegetable mix.

6. Pour about 150-200 ml water to make it into a slightly smooth batter (just as you would have for normal idly.
Do not leave the mix for a long time so, because it tends to get thicker. So as soon as you make the batter be ready to cook it.
