Oats Dosa | Healthy Protein-Rich Breakfast Recipe

About Oats Dosa

Oats are a nutritious cereal grain commonly enjoyed for breakfast as oatmeal. They can be prepared sweet with milk, fruits, and nuts, or savory with vegetables, onions, chilies, and spices.

Oats are rich in dietary fiber, which helps reduce cholesterol levels and supports heart health. They are also versatile and used in a wide variety of dishes such as porridge, cookies, cereals, soups, and more.
