Instructions
 

Prepare the Quinoa

  • Rinse the quinoa thoroughly under running water until the water runs clear. Soak the quinoa in 1 cup of water for at least 30 minutes.

Make the Batter

  • Drain the soaked quinoa. In a blender, combine the soaked quinoa, rolled oats, and a little of the soaking water. Blend until a smooth batter forms. Add more water as needed to achieve desired consistency.

Combine and Rest

  • Transfer the batter to a bowl. Stir in the yogurt and salt. Mix well and let the batter rest for at least 15 minutes.

Cook the Uttapam

  • Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with oil or ghee.

Add Batter and Toppings

  • Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot pan for each uttapam. Spread it gently into a thin circle. Sprinkle the chopped onion, tomato, cilantro, and grated carrot evenly over the top.

Cook and Serve

  • Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Serve the quinoa uttapam immediately.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Best Quinoa Uttapam

  • For a fluffier uttapam, let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms to customize the uttapam to your liking.
  • If the batter is too thick, add a little water to thin it out. If it's too thin, add a tablespoon of oats or quinoa flour.
  • Serve hot with your favorite chutney or sambar for a complete South Indian breakfast experience.
