Oats Chips and Tomato Salsa Dip
Ingredients
Oats chips
- 1 cup ground oats powder
- Salt to taste
- Pinch of turmeric powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ajwain
- Few drops of oil
Tomato salsa
- 2 large finely chopped tomatoes
- 2 finely chopped green chilies
- 1 small finely chopped onion
- Finely chopped coriander leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon tomato ketchup (optional)
- 1 burnt tomato paste
- Juice of 1/2 lime
- Salt to taste
Preparation
Grind the oats in a mixer jar to make a fine powder and transfer to a mixing bowl.
Add salt to taste.
Add a pinch of turmeric powder.
Add 1/2 teaspoon ajwain and mix well, then add water to knead a soft dough.
Roll out a few larger balls from the dough.
Sprinkle some oats or wheat flour on a rolling board.
Roll each ball into a very thin circle, similar to a chapati.
Heat a pan and place the oats chapati on it.
Cook on low to medium flame for 5-7 minutes, then flip.
Spread less than 1/2 teaspoon oil, flip again, and press with a folded thick cloth to roast evenly.
Spread less than 1/2 teaspoon oil again, flip, and roast until golden-brown and crispy.
Transfer to a chopping board and cut into pieces while hot.
Salsa dip
Take a mixing bowl and add 2 large finely chopped tomatoes.
Add 2 finely chopped green chilies.
Add 1 small finely chopped onion.
Add some finely chopped coriander leaves.
Add 1/2 teaspoon tomato ketchup if desired.
Add the burnt tomato paste by roasting one tomato over the stove flame to char the skin and then grinding it.
Add juice from 1/2 lime.
Add salt to taste and mix well.
Notes
This is a healthy, Indian-inspired fusion dish made without oven or frying, using a gas stove.
