15 Minutes Babu Ma's Oats Dosa

Came upon a Dosa Mela at Cooking For All Seasons by Srivalli and I decided to send in my grandmother Babu Ma's Oats Dosai that my father fondly remembers his mother preparing for him when he was a child.My father has been asking me to try it out for a few months and I decided to do just that and add it to my recipe collection. Since I have never seen my grandmother its my fathers recollection of the ingredients and I decided to play and experiment with it.
