Small Bites - Raagi and Oats

Ingredients

Raagi 1 cup (full or powder)

Semolina 1/4 cup

Oats 1/3 cup

Yogurt 1 cup (not very sour)

Baking powder 1/2 tsp

For tempering

Oil 1 tsp

Curry leaves 5-6

Grated coconut (optional)

Mustard 1 tsp

Cumin seeds 1 tsp

Salt to taste

Method

1. Grind oats and ragi coarsely. I did not have raagi powder hence used full ragi and hence grinded it too
2.  In a bowl combine oats, ragi, semolina, yogurt and salt. Add little water to make a thick batter. The consistency of this will be on idli batter. Finally add baking powder. Keep aside for 15 mins
3.  Prepare a steamer filled with water and place the plate over which you will use for steaming the bites.  You can also use a cooker and place the plate inside it. I did not have both handy. So i used kadai filled with water and placed a plate.
4. Now pour the batter on the plate/pan. Place the pan/plate carefully in the cooker or kadai
5. You need not use whistle if using a cooker, just cover it for 5-7 mins
6. Once you see the steam coming out lower the flame and leave it for 3 mins
7. Once steamed remove from the flame and keep aside
8. For seasoning heat oil in a pan, add mustard, cumin seeds and allow to splutter. Add green chillies. Remove and pour over the bites
9. Cool and cut them to the shape you like
