📝 Ingredients (Makes 3–4 Adai)
- ½ cup oats, powdered
- 1 medium carrot, grated
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- ½ beetroot, grated
- 100–150 g low-fat paneer, grated
- ½ tsp red chilli powder
- 1 green chilli, finely chopped
- 2 tsp fresh coriander, chopped
- 2 sprigs curry leaves, finely chopped
- 1–2 tsp oil, for cooking

👩🍳 Method
- Grind the oats into a fine powder and transfer them to a mixing bowl.
- Add the grated carrot, beetroot, onion, paneer, green chilli, coriander, curry leaves, red chilli powder and salt.
- Mix everything well, adding water little by little until you get a thick, spreadable batter.
- Lightly grease a banana leaf or parchment paper with a little oil. Take a portion of the mixture and spread it into a thin, even Adai.
- Heat a non-stick pan and lightly grease it with oil.
- Carefully transfer the prepared Adai onto the hot pan. Cook on medium-low heat until the bottom turns golden and crisp.
- Gently flip and cook the other side until golden and the Adai is cooked through.
- Repeat with the remaining batter.
