Uthappam




Uthappam is a kind of Dosa which is more flavorful and tasty. In this we can add any vegetables like carrots, tomatoes, green peas etc.

Ingredients:

Rice- 2cups
Urad daal- 1/2 cup
Channa daal- 1/4 cup
Atukulu(Poha)-1/4 cup
Fenugreek seeds- 1tbsp
Salt- for taste
Oil- for frying
Green chillies- 3 no
Onion- 2 medium
Cilantro- 1/4 cup
Ginger- 1tbsp
Curry leaves- few
Tomotoes- 1 medium
Green peas- 1/8 cup
Carrot- 1 big (grated)
Preparations:

1. Wash and soak the rice about 6hrs or overnight.
2. Wash and soak the daals, fenugreek seeds about 6hrs or overnight.
3. Drain the water, wash them again and grind as fine batter by adding enough water. The batter should be thick. So don't add too much water.
4. Add salt, mix the batter properly. Let it ferment about 6hrs or overnight.
5. Chop the green chillies, onion, cilantro, ginger, tomatoes very finely, keep aside.
6. Grate the carrot and keep aside.
Now the batter is ready to prepare the Uthappam.
Method:
1. Once the batter is fermented about 6hrs, mix well. Check the salt.
2. Add finely chopped chillies, curry leaves, ginger, onion, carrot, green peas, tomatoes and cilantro to it, mix well.
3. Heat the dosa tavva, sprinkle some oil, put the batter, spread it. (This Uthappam is thicker than the dosa), put oil on both sides and fry on both sides till golden brown colour. Cook the dosa on medium flame. Since we have added vegetables, it will take little more time than the regular dosa.
4. Serve hot with any coconut or ground nut or putnala chutney.
Note:
1. It is good for health.
2. Its more colourful with grated carrot, cilantro, tomatoes, green peas etc so kids will love to eat this.
3. This batter can be preserved about 4days. But add the vegetables just before u prepare Uthappam.
Hope u will love this recipe.
