Uttappams or Uttappas are thicker than dosas and topped with different toppings like onion, coriander leaves, fresh coconut and many more. These Uttappams are very are soft and delicious.
Ingredients: (Prepares 16-17 medium sized uttapams)
1 cup rice,
1/2 cup dhuli urad dal (split black gram),
1/4 cup poha (beaten rice),
Salt to taste,
Water,
Oil.
To garnish –
Chopped onion, coriander leaves, green chillies and freshly grated coconut as per taste.
Method:
Soak rice and urad dal in water (enough to soak) for 6-7 hours. Later wash the poha in some water to soften them. Then grind rice, dal and washed poha with water only as required to prepare a smooth batter with dropping consistency (similar to dosa batter). Allow this batter to ferment for 7-8 hours. Then add some salt to the batter and stir well.
Heat a griddle on low-medium flame and smear some oil. Then scoop 1-2 spoonfuls of batter and spread it instantly in a circular motion to prepare a round uttappam. If you are not comfortable preparing medium size uttapas then prepare small uttappams with a spoonful of mixture. I prepare small sized uttappams regularly, they look very cute.
Immediately top with garnishing ingredients, spread some oil from the sides of the uttappam.
Cover with a lid and cook for 2-3 minutes until it browns from bottom. Then spread some oil on top and flip over. Cook from this side for 2 minutes and serve with coconut chutney or best with green coconut and garlic chutney.
