Ingredients to Make Mixture for the Uthappam mixture.
Vegetables for Uttapam Topping.
Wash and soak dal and rice separately for 4-5 hours and grind with little water in a mixer to make paste. Take them out in a plate and mix well. Add salt, baking soda (optional) in it and make a slightly thick batter. The batter should not fall like a liquid while dripping from the spoon.
Keep the mixture at a warm place to ferment it. In summers it takes 12 hours for a mixture to get ferment and 24 hours in winters. The mixture rises and doubles up after the fermentation process. Stir it with a spoon. The batter to make Uthappam base is ready.
You can also use ready made Idli Dosa batter available in the market.
Vegetable Uthappam
Take a non-stick pan and pour 1 table spoon oil in it. Spread the oil evenly in all the four corners.
Pour 3 table spoon batter in the pan and spread it in circular shape making a disc of 8-10 inch. Now put 2 table spoon chopped mixed vegetables on the Uthappam base. Press the vegetables with a spoon to settle them down.
Cook the Uthappam base till it turns light Brown in colour. Turn over the side and cook the vegetables at a medium flame. Take it out on a plate and serve it with green chutney.
Make all the Uthappam in the same manner.
Suggestion:
You can also add Onions in the vegetable mix.
