Full of fiber, minerals and vitamins is Oats Roti (Indian Flat Bread)!
I wanted to make something healthy from oats which is not only healthy but yummy too. Finally I thought of making roti with oats + jowar (sorghum) flour and wheat flour. I added a dash of black sesame seeds for making it more nutritive.
Oats have great healthy benefits start your morning with oats. Eating oats regulates cholesterol, pressure, good for your heart, good in losing weight also great for digestion. So don’t wait get a pack of oats make chiwda, poha, upma, rotis Or just cook them and eat. They are great to have in any form as they are full of fiber.
I have seen people not eating oats because of its bland flavor. In such cases try giving some spice and flavor to oats dish. I also have developed a habit to eat oats as never had eaten them in my childhood. But have started loving them. Looking forward to make more yummy dishes with oats.
This dish is easy to make, simple to cook yet flavorful and healthy. Oats Roti would be an ideal choice for kid tiffin box, lunch box Or quick snack Or brunch. This roti tastes like normal roti so club them with regular vegetable Or gravy. Your family won’t even come to know the difference.
You get variety of oats like steel cut oats, instant oats etc. Nowadays you get other variety like masala oats, flavored oats. However I prefer plain oats and spiced at home not in packets. Do share if you have a good recipe from oats which you make back home.
I have tried Oats Chivda, Oats Ragi Porridge and Oats Granola Bar Recipe.
Notes for Oats Roti:
- You could add any flour you like along with oats and whole wheat flour.
- If you like spice add a dash of paprika powder Or green chilies to the dough.
- I have used oil you could use ghee (clarified butter) Or butter.
- Ensure the dough isn’t too sticky nor firm for this recipe.

This looks like a great recipe. I have raw oats for breakfast every morning and, when ground up, they make a good flour too.
