Quaker Oats coarse powder - 1 1/2 cups 
Sooji- 1 cup

Method

In a sauce pan dry roast oats and after cooling grind into coarse powder. Set it aside.
In another heavy bottom sauce pan add oil and when heated add the seasoning one by one. First add mustard, and when it splutters add zeera, cashews, chopped green chillies, curry leaves and asafoetida. After seasoning is sauted, add chopped carrots and beans. Add salt and cover and cook till the vegetables are tendered. Add the sooji to the vegetables and roast for few minutes till the raw smell is gone. 
In a separate big bowl pour the seasoned vegetables which has sooji. Add the oats powder, yogurt and chopped coriander. Add water little by little until you get the Idli batter consistency. 
Now the Idly batter is done. Grease the idly plates and keep it ready.
On a stove heat the pressure cooker with enough water for the idlies. When water is boiling, add the Baking Powder to the Idly batter quickly and fill in the idly plates.
Pressure cook without whistle like how we cook for idly. But the temperature and time varies.
On HIGH cook for 3 minutes and next cook on MEDIUM for 10 minutes.
Serve warm with any chutney and sambhar.

ENJOY!!!

Variations: 
You can alter the quantities of oats and sooji as per your taste. It is more healthier if you increase the oats quantity but the taste and the texture of the idlies changes. Same with the quantity of vegetables you can add more or less.
