  6. Meanwhile rinse and then slice the onion, bell pepper & tomato thinly. also chop 1 green chili and some coriander leaves.
  7. On the same chopping board or tray, mix the veggies and keep aside.
  8. After 20 minutes, the batter will thicken as the oats, besan and sooji will absorb water.
  9. Add some more 1/4 cup water as the batter had become slightly thick. Addition of water will depend on quality of oats, besan and sooji. you can add more water if the batter becomes thick. do add water as required to make a medium consistency batter. if the batter is of medium consistency even after soaking, then do not add any water.

  13. lower the flame. take a ladle full of the batter and pour the batter on the tawa. gently spread the batter to get a round circle.
  14. Now spread the mixed veggies all over the batter. With a spatula press the veggies lightly, so that they stick to the batter.
