Ingredients

  • 1 cup semolina
  • ½ cup yogurt plant-based/ dairy
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ cup finely chopped onion
  • ½ cup finely chopped tomato
  • ½ cup finely chopped bell pepper
  • ¼ cup chopped coriander leaves
  • 1-2 finely chopped green chilies
  • 7-8 curry leaves
  • ½ teaspoon mustard seeds
  • ¼ teaspoon asafoetida
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • Salt as per taste
  • 2 tbsp + 1 tbsp cooking oil

Instructions

  • In a large bowl mix semolina, yogurt, salt, and water. Mix well and keep aside for around 10-15 minutes.
  • After 15 minutes, semolina will absorb water so the batter will become thick. If required, add more water to get a pancake batter like consistency.
  • Add baking soda to the batter and mix.
  • Heat 1tbsp oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds, when they start spluttering add curry leaves and asafoetida. Saute for a few seconds and then pour this oil mixture over the batter. Mix well.
  • Mix the chopped onions, tomatoes, bell peppers, green chilies, and coriander leaves in a bowl and keep aside.
  • Heat a flat pan and grease with some oil. Pour around a ladle of batter on it and spread to make a pancake. Don't make it very thin.
  • When the top surface of Uttapam is still wet, spread some chopped vegetables on it. Gently press with the backside of spatula so that the vegetables stick to the surface.
  • When the top side gets dry, flip it over and cook the other side too for around 2 minutes or until it's nicely cooked.
  • Take out on a plate with the vegetable side up and serve hot with sambhar or chutney.

Notes

  1. For even and faster cooking, cover the pan with a lid while cooking the Uttapam.
  2. You can add more vegetables like grated carrots, cabbage, mushrooms, corn, etc to make different types of Uttapam.
