Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Wheat Flour whole wheat
- 2 tbsp Millet Flour
- 2 tbsp Rice Flour
- 2 tbsp Oats powdered, rolled
- 2 tbsp Semolina rava
- 1 tbsp Gram Flour besan
- 1/2 tsp Chili Powder red
- 1/2 tsp Salt to taste
Toppings
- 1 Onion finely chopped, small
- 1 tbsp Coriander finely chopped
- 1 Chili deseeded and finely chopped (optional), red
- 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil for cooking
Instructions
Prepare the Batter
- Soak the rolled oats, semolina, gram flour, and all flours in the yogurt for at least 10 minutes. Add salt and red chili powder. Gradually add water until you achieve a dosa-like batter consistency. Let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes.
Cook the Uttapams
- Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with oil.
Shape and Cook
- Pour a small amount of batter onto the hot pan, shaping it into a small heart using the back of a spoon or a heart-shaped mold. Sprinkle with chopped onions, coriander, and red chilies (if using).
Finish and Serve
- Cook for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Dab with a paper towel to remove excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite chutney or sambar.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Heart-Shaped Mini Uttapams
- For perfectly heart-shaped uttapams, use a small heart-shaped cookie cutter or mold to shape the batter before cooking.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. Cook the uttapams in batches to ensure even cooking and browning.
- Experiment with different toppings! Add finely chopped vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, or spinach for extra flavor and nutrition.
- For a crispier uttapam, use a cast iron pan or griddle.
