Procedure:

1. Take a kadai, add oats and dry roast them under medium flame until they turn to light brown. Cool them and blend to get fine powder.
2. Take a pan, heat oil, add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, chopped cashews, green chillies and fry them. 
3. Add grated carrot and fry for 2 minutes. Then add powdered oats, sooji rava and stir well. 
4. Add chopped coriander leaves, salt and mix well. Finally add sufficient water until it reaches right consistency (similar to idly batter).
5. Now grease idli plates with oil, add batter in the moulds and steam cook for 10-15 minutes or until done. Serve hot with your favorite chutney.

TIP: Here I used Sooji / Semolina. It can be substituted with cracked wheat rava.
