Sometimes you want to make something that is easy and hassle free and of course healthy.  Oat dosas are instant dosas and make a great breakfast or any time snack. This gluten-free dish is made with oats, rice flour, yogurt, and a few spices. I am also adding cabbage and carrots for texture.  This will definitely be a staple in my house.
