Ingredients: For Batter: 3 cup Rice 1 cup split blackgram(Urad ) dal 1 tbsp poha 1/2 tesp fenugreek seeds(methi

dana) salt to taste Method: 1.Soak all the ingredients except salt in water for 2-3 hrs. 2. Grind it to a smooth paste and add salt and mix it. Keep the batter overnight to ferment. 3. Use this Batter to make any kind of dosas,uttapam I presoak the rice and Urad dal(white lentil) separately and then grind them. Mix it well , add some salt and leave it for fermentation. This fermented batter is then used to make Idlis, Dosa and Uttapam. Since I did not have any batter to make this , I googled for an instant recipe and came across the LOVE4COOKING blog and followed the Instant Onion Uttapam recipe. Its a very easy recipe and the Uttapams/Pancakes came out great. My kids loved them and did not have much left to take some decent clicks. Now I would call it an almost instant recipe as we still have to keep the mixture aside for half an hour. But that half an hour goes quick..believe me. Also that time could be utilized for chopping the veggies (onion,tomato, green cilanto leaves, green chillies). If you still have some time left you could enjoy a cup of tea and watch your favorite show. Ingredients : Instant Uttapam Mix 1 1/2 cup Semolina /Sooji/Rava 1/2 cup rice flour 1 cup yoghurt 1 cup water salt to taste

Preparation : Take 1 cup of yoghurt and mix about 1 cup water. Whisk it well. Make it like buttermilk consistency. Now to this add semolina and rice flour. Mix it well. Cover and keep it aside for half an hour for fermenting. Now chop the veggies (1 red onion, 1 tomato, 2-3 green chillies and a handful cilantro leaves). After its been resting for 1/2 hour, the Uttapam mixture will be a bit dense as the semolina absorbs most of the water. Add about 1/2 cup to 1 cup water , mix it well. Add salt and the chopped veggies. Heat a griddle/Tawa. When its hot, pour about 1/4 cup batter onto the griddle and spread in a circular motion. Apply some oil around the Uttapam. Once its cooked turn it and let it cook on the other side. ngredients:
