Ingredients

  • Dosa rice- 2 cups
  • Split blackgram lentils- 1/2 cup
  • Fenugreek seeds- 2 tsp
  • Thin rice flakes- 1 cup
  • Salt- 2 tsp
  • Onion- 2 nos.
  • Carrot- 1 no.
  • Tomato- 1 no.
  • Coriander leaves- Handful
  • Cooking oil- Enough to cook

Instructions

Preparation

  • Wash and soak rice, split blackgram lentils and fenugreek seeds together in enough water for about 2 to 4 hours.

Method

  • Drain water from the soaked ingredients and take it in mixer grinder or wet grinder and grind together to little coarse batter. Add some water as required.
  • When it is half ground, wash thin rice flakes with some water and include it too for grinding. The batter should be thick pouring consistency.
  • Transfer the batter in to a vessel and keep it covered for 10 to 12 hours or overnight in warm place. Let it ferment.
  • After good hours of fermentation, the batter would have been increased in volume. Add salt and mix it well. The uttappam batter is ready now.
  • Chop the onion, tomato, coriander leaves finely. Also grate the carrot and keep them ready. Next heat a dosa griddle drizzling it with a teaspoon of oil. As the griddle fumes, lower the flame. Add ladle full of uttappam batter at the center of the griddle and let it spread by itself.
  • Sprinkle some onion, tomato, carrot followed by coriander leaves over the uttappam. Using flat spatula press over, so that veggies get inside.
  • Cook it covering with lid for few minutes. Once done, slowly flip it over and cook till the onion gets caramalized.
  • Very healthy vegetable uttappam is ready to serve with chutney and sambar.

Notes

  • The uttappam batter should be slightly coarse than normal dosa batter and it should be of pouring consistency.
  • Good hours of fermentation is required for the soft and porous uttappam. So do not compromise on that.
  • You can also choose to add finely chopped capsicum along with other veggies.
  • It gets cooked slower than normal dosa. So cook accordingly.
