Instructions
 

Prepare the Batter

  • Mix semolina, rice flour, whole wheat flour, and salt in a large bowl. Gradually add yogurt and water, mixing until a smooth, pourable batter is formed. Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes to allow the semolina to absorb the liquid. Stir well before cooking.

Prepare the Toppings

  • While the batter rests, finely chop the onion, tomato, and green chilies. Grate the carrot and shred the cabbage. Combine all the vegetables and coriander leaves in a bowl.

Cook the Uthappam

  • Heat a lightly oiled non-stick griddle or tawa over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each uthappam. Spread the batter into a thick pancake shape.

Add Toppings & Finish Cooking

  • Sprinkle the prepared vegetable mixture evenly over the top of each uthappam. Drizzle a little oil around the edges. Cook until the edges are golden brown and the top is set. Flip gently and cook for another minute on the other side.

Serve

  • Serve the Rava Uthappam hot with your favorite chutney or sambar.

  • Vegetable variations: Feel free to experiment with other vegetables like bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms.
  • Spice it up: Add a pinch of red chili powder or other spices to the batter for extra flavor.

I am a native of Kanyakumari district, brought up in Tiruchirapalli, and settled in Tirunelveli. I started exploring cooking at the age of 15 and learned a variety of recipes from my two grandmothers, friends, aunts, mother, and mother-in-law.

Cooking is, of course, my passion. I work as a teacher, and my colleagues love to receive recipes and tips from me, just as I enjoy learning from them. My son and husband encourage me to experiment with and innovate new dishes."
