About Oats cheela

Oats Cheela is a savory Indian pancake made with oats, spices, and often vegetables, originating from Indian cuisine. Known for its versatility and quick preparation, it is a modern fusion dish that combines the traditional cheela with the nutritional benefits of oats. Oats are a nutrient-dense cereal grain high in dietary fiber, particularly beta-glucans, along with protein. They are gluten-free, making them suitable for individuals with gluten intolerance when processed in a gluten-free facility. This dish minimizes oil usage, making it calorie-conscious and heart-healthy while packing vitamins and minerals from added vegetables such as carrots, spinach, or tomatoes.

Health Benefits

• High fiber content from oats, particularly beta-glucans, which supports heart health by reducing LDL cholesterol.
• Rich in magnesium, aiding in energy production and enhancing muscle and nerve function.
• Oats provide antioxidants like avenanthramides, which may reduce inflammation and benefit skin health.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains oats (if cross-contaminated with gluten), spices (if sensitive)

Suitable for: Vegetarian, gluten-free diets if oats are certified gf

Not suitable for: Low-carb diets, grain-free diets

Selection and Storage

Store unused batter in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours in an airtight container. Cooked cheelas can be refrigerated for 1-2 days and reheated on a skillet.

Common Questions About Oats cheela Nutrition

Is oats cheela high in protein?

Oats cheela contains moderate protein levels, typically providing around 5-6 grams of protein per serving (150-200 grams), depending on the ingredients like chickpea flour or yogurt used in the recipe. Adding vegetables and spices makes it more nutritious while keeping it a fairly healthy protein source for vegetarians.

Can I eat oats cheela on a keto diet?

Oats cheela is not ideal for a keto diet as oats are relatively high in carbohydrates, with approximately 27-30 grams of carbs per serving. Keto diets typically limit carbohydrate intake to less than 50 grams per day, so oats cheela does not fit the strict low-carb requirements.

What are the health benefits of oats cheela?

Oats cheela is rich in dietary fiber, which supports digestion and heart health. It provides energy while being low in unhealthy fats, making it an excellent choice for managing cholesterol levels. Additionally, it can be fortified with vegetables and spices for added vitamins and antioxidants.

How many servings of oats cheela should I eat per day?

A serving size of oats cheela (approximately 1 pancake or 150-200 grams) is usually sufficient for one meal, providing around 200-250 calories. Depending on your dietary goals and daily calorie needs, one serving per day is typically appropriate if combined with other balanced meals.

How does oats cheela compare to besan cheela?

Oats cheela is higher in dietary fiber compared to besan cheela, as oats are a rich source of soluble fiber. Besan cheela, made from chickpea flour, offers a higher protein content (8-10 grams per serving) but is lower in fiber. Both dishes are nutritious, but oats cheela is often preferred for digestion support and weight management.
