Recipe -
🔷 For Batter -
Soak 2 cup rice and 1 cup urad dal atleast 6 hours in separate bowls and soak 1 tsp fenugreek/methi seeds with rice.
Blend urad dal and make a smooth paste. Blend rice and methi with 1/2 cup soaked poha into a smooth paste.
Now mix both the mixtures together and let it sit to ferment atleast 2 days. Uttapam batter needs to be a little more fermented than dosa batter. When ready to make uttapam, Add 1 tsp salt and mix the batter well.
Note - *Add ½ cup water or as much needed if the batter is too thick and mix well. Batter should neither be very thick nor of a flowing consistency. We are looking for a pancake batter kind of consistency here to make fluffy and soft uttapams*
🔷 For Uttapam -
Combine the chopped onions, cilantro, chillies and ginger in a bowl and give it a mix. Add some salt to taste and 1 tsp eno(soda) to make fluffy uttapam.
Heat an iron skillet on medium heat for 1-2 minutes. Grease with ½ tbsp ghee/oil once hot.
Take a ladleful of batter and pour in the center. Spread gently.
Sprinkle some chilli powder on top of batter and then sprinkle the mixed veggies over it.
Put ½ tbsp. ghee/oil on the edges and on top and cover the pan. Let it cook for 1-2 minutes on medium flame.
Take out the lid and flip the uttapam. Let it cook for 1-2 minutes on the other side.
Take it out on a plate and continue the steps for rest of the uttapam.
🔷 For Coriander Chutney -
In a blender, add cilantro, 2-3 tbsp shredded unsweet coconut, about 1/2 inch ginger, green chillies, 2 tbsp lime juice, 3-4 tbsp water. Blend together to make a smooth paste. Add salt to taste.
Happy eating :D
