RAVA UTTAPPAM

Uttappams are made normally with the dosa batter in our  house.  I used to grind the batter for Idli and keep it for only 3 days.  First day, Idli, Second day Dosa or Uttappam, third day if batter remains, add bit of rava, maida etc. and again make dosa out of it.  Normally I do not grind much and keep in fridge.  Whenever it is required, depending upon the need, I used to grind.

We make onion uttappam, masala uttappam, withe vegetables etc.  Since I was not having the batter with me and my son wanted to have uttappam, I made it with rava and it was awesome with chutney.

It is very easy to make as we have the required ingredients at home always.  If not everything, the basic needed items viz. tomato, onion etc. are always available at home.

Let us look at the recipe now:

Cuisine:  South Indian

Category: Breakfast

Serves: 2

Ingredients:

1 cup rava

1 cup thick  butter milk

1-2 green chilli finely chopped

1-2 tsp coriander finely chopped

1 large onion finely chopped

1 tomato finely chopped

1/2 capsicum finely chopped

hing powder

salt

ghee or oil for making uttappam

a generous pinch of cooking soda or eno

Method:

1.  In a mixing bowl, add the rava, butter milk, salt, hing powder and mix well.  The batter should not be too thick or too thin.  Keep aside for 30 minutes.  The rava is likely to absorb water hence while making the uttappam, if need be, add bit water.  Add the cooking soda just before  making the uttappam and mix.

Mix the onion, capsicum, tomato, coriander and keep aside.

2.  Heat a non stick tava or a normal tava, drizzle some oil.  Pour one ladleful of batter and slightly spread.  spread the onion, tomato capsicum mix on top of the uttappam and pat with the wooden laddle so that it stick to the batter.

3.  Drizzle some oil or ghee and cook both the sides.

How to serve:

serve hot with chutney, sambar.

Note:  While serving, you can grate some cheese and put it for the children.
