Ingredients Required :
2 cups of idli/dosa batter (fermented)
1 onion, finely chopped
1 green chili, finely chopped (optional)
1 tomato, finely chopped
A handful of fresh coriander leaves chopped
Salt to taste
Oil or ghee for cooking
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Batter
Start by ensuring you have fermented idli/dosa batter ready. If not, you can prepare it by soaking 2 cups of rice and 1 cup of urad dal (black gram) separately for 4-6 hours. Then grind them together into a smooth paste. Let the batter ferment overnight or for at least 8 hours.
Step 2: Heat the Griddle
Place a non-stick griddle or tava on medium heat. Allow it to heat up evenly.
Step 3: Pour Batter
Take a ladle full of fermented batter and pour it onto the center of the hot griddle.
Step 4: Spread the Batter
Using the back of the ladle, spread the batter evenly in a circular motion to form a thick pancake-like shape.
Step 5: Add Toppings
Sprinkle a handful of finely chopped onions, green chilies (if using), tomatoes, and coriander leaves evenly over the spread batter.
Step 6: Press Gently
Press the toppings gently into the batter using the back of the ladle. This helps them stick to the Uttappam.
Step 7: Drizzle Oil
Drizzle some oil or ghee around the edges and on top of the Uttappam. This gives it a nice golden crust.
Step 8: Cook Until Golden Brown
Allow the Uttappam to cook on medium heat until the bottom turns golden brown and crisp.
Step 9: Flip and Cook
Carefully flip the Uttappam using a spatula and cook the other side until it turns golden brown as well.
Step 10: Serve Hot
Once both sides are cooked to perfection, remove the Uttappam from the griddle and serve hot with coconut chutney, sambar, or your favorite side dish.
Enjoy the delightful flavors of this Plain Uttappam as a breakfast treat or a satisfying snack any time of the day!
Tips:
For a softer Uttappam, cover it with a lid while cooking.
You can customize the toppings according to your preference. Try adding grated carrots, bell peppers, or cheese for a twist!
Ensure the griddle is hot enough before pouring the batter to get the perfect texture.
