Instructions

Making rava uttapam

  • In a bowl, add 2 cups of rava.
  • Soak 1 cup of urad dal for 3-4 hours. Drain the water, add the dal to a mixer jar with ½ cup of water, and grind it into a smooth paste.
  • Add the ground dal paste to the rava. Also, add salt and 1 cup of water (or as needed) to make the uttapam batter of medium-thick, pouring consistency.
  • Cover and let the batter rest for 20 minutes.
  • In a pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil. Add 1 teaspoon of mustard seeds and 2-3 chopped green chilies, and sauté them.
  • Add ½ cup of chopped onion and sauté it.
  • Then, add ¼ cup of chopped green capsicum, ¼ cup of chopped red capsicum, and ¼ cup of chopped yellow capsicum, and sauté.
  • Add ¼ cup of chopped tomatoes, salt, and 1 teaspoon of red chili flakes. Sauté everything together.
  • Add the sautéed mixture to the batter, along with ¼ cup of chopped coriander leaves. Mix well.
  • Then, add ½ teaspoon of baking soda and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Mix well.
  • Heat a tawa and grease it with oil. Pour the uttapam batter onto the tawa using a ladle.
  • Cover with a lid and cook the uttapam on medium flame.
  • When the bottom side becomes crisp, flip the uttapam and cook the other side for 2-3 minutes.
  • Serve the rava uttapam with chutney.

Making Chana Dal Chutney:

  • In a pan, heat oil and add chana dal. Sauté until the dal turns slightly golden brown.
  • Add curry leaves, garlic cloves, ginger, and dry red chili. Sauté for a minute.
  • Turn off the flame and let the mixture cool completely.
  • Transfer the chutney mixture to a grinder jar. Add salt and water, and grind everything into a smooth paste.
  • Transfer the chutney to a bowl.
  • In a pan, heat oil and add mustard seeds, urad dal, curry leaves, and a pinch of hing. Sauté for a minute and pour this tempering over the chutney.
  • Serve the chutney with rava uttapam.

Notes

  1. Grind the urad dal into a smooth paste.
  2. Cover and let the uttapam batter rest for 20 minutes so the rava soaks properly.
  3. Sauté the vegetables on medium-high flame. Do not overcook them.
  4. Tempering enhances the taste and adds softness to the uttapam.
  5. Cook the uttapam on medium flame until it becomes crispy on both sides.
