Instant Suji Uttapam

A recipe, which I got from one of Nita Mehta’s book.  Thanks to her for this recipe which has been added to my morning breakfast list. It is fast, the ingredients can be mostly found in Indian homes, it’s healthy and quite filling. So, how could I not share it with you’ll.    I have done some minor changes to the original version according to my convenience and taste. 

Many a time’s guests walk in when you have just finished you lunch or dinner.  This recipe of uttapam comes very handy.  Do try it and let me know if you liked it.

Ingredient

Suji / Semolina – 1½ cup

Curd – 1½ cup

Mitha Soda / Soda-bi-carb – 1/4 tsp

Red chilli powder – 1tsp

Garam Masala – ½ tsp

Tomato – 2 finely chopped

Spring onion – 2 finely chopped

Coriander leaves – 2 tsp finely chopped

Water – ¼ cup

Salt to taste

Oil

Method

1.      In a bowl mix suji, curd, red chilli powder, garam masala and soda-bi-carb. Beat well. Leave it for 15 min. 

2.     Now mix the vegetable and add the water and make a thick batter.  (Be careful with the batter consistency as if it becomes very thin, the uttapam would be very sticky). Leave it for 5 min.

3.   Heat a non-stick pan. Spread about 2-3tbsp of the batter to make it round with the back of the spoon. (don’t make it very thin or it may break when you turn). Cook on low flame till the upper side starts cooking.

4.     Add some oil and cook for one more minute. Now turn. (If the lower side sticks to the pan and you find it difficult to turn. Pour some oil on the sides.)

5.     Continue to cook on low flame till the uttapam become crispy (for about 5min).

6.     Serve it with green chutney or coconut.
