3. In a big bowl,beat the curd without any lumps and then add ground oats and sooji powder.Add enough water and mix well to get the consistency of dosa batter.
4. Add salt and cooking soda and mix well then leave it aside for 1 hour. You should leave for atleast half an hour.
5. After one hour add finely chopped onion,curry leaves,coriander leaves,chana dal,cumin seeds and green chillies with this batter and mix well.
6. Check the consistency because mostly sooji will absorb the water when it is soaked.So check and add the water if need.
7. Heat the paniyaram pan and add 1/2 tsp of oil an each impression.Then pour the batter and keep the low-medium flame in a stove.So that it will cook evenly.
8. After one side completely cook turn into the other side and cook until it turns to brown color.
9. Then serve with chutney or sauce and enjoy it.

Note -
