Ingredients
For the Batter
- 1 cup Semolina rava or sooji
- 1 cup Yogurt sour curd or dahi
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1 tsp Eno Fruit Salt
- 1 cup Water add more as needed for desired consistency, approximately
Instructions
Prepare the Batter
- In a large bowl, combine semolina, yogurt, and salt. Mix well.
- Gradually add water, mixing continuously until you achieve a thick, pancake-like batter. Let the batter rest for 20 minutes.
Prepare the Topping
- While the batter rests, finely chop the onion, tomato, and coriander leaves. Combine them in a separate bowl.
Cook the Uttapam
- After 20 minutes, check the batter consistency. If it's too thick, add a little more water and mix well to achieve a spreadable consistency. Add Eno fruit salt and mix gently.
- Heat a non-stick tawa (griddle) over medium heat. Lightly grease the tawa with oil using a paper towel.
- Pour a ladleful of batter onto the hot tawa and spread it gently into a thin, round circle.
- Drizzle a little oil around the edges of the uttapam.
- Top the uttapam with the prepared onion, tomato, and coriander mixture.
- Cover the tawa and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown.
- Drizzle a little oil over the toppings, then carefully flip the uttapam and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the other side is cooked through.
- Remove the uttapam from the tawa and serve hot with your favorite chutney or sambar.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Rava Uttapam
- For extra fluffy uttapams, whisk the batter vigorously before adding the Eno.
- Don't overcrowd the pan; cook the uttapams in batches to ensure even cooking.
- Adjust the amount of water in the batter to achieve your desired consistency. A slightly thicker batter will result in thicker uttapams.
- Experiment with different toppings! Add grated cheese, vegetables, or spices to customize your uttapams.
