1. Roast oats in a dry skillet over low heat until lightly browned and curled. Be cautious not to burn. Allow to cool, then grind into a fine powder and set aside.
2. Heat oil in a pan and sauté mustard seeds and chana dal until golden. Add rava and roast for 2-3 minutes or until lightly browned. Mix in powdered oats, cashew nuts, salt, and chopped coriander.
3. Transfer mixture to a bowl, let it cool, then add yogurt and water. Mix until thick batter forms. Add Eno salt; immediate bubbles will appear. Quickly pour into greased idli molds and steam for 10-12 minutes.
4. For the best results, add Eno salt just before steaming, and avoid letting the batter sit for too long. Pre-boil steamer water in advance to enable immediate steaming, ensuring light and fluffy idlis.
5. Enjoy warm oats idli with your choice of accompaniments and chutneys.
