Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Non-stick pan or tawa
  • Ladle
  • Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup semolina (rava)
  • 1/4 cup yogurt
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda (optional for fluffiness)
  • 1 onion (finely chopped)
  • 1 tomato (finely chopped)
  • 1 green chili (chopped)
  • 1/4 cup coriander leaves (chopped)
  • 1/4 cup grated carrots or capsicum (optional)
  • Oil or ghee (for cooking)

Instructions
 

  • 1. Prepare the Batter
    In a mixing bowl, combine semolina, yogurt, salt, and water.
    Mix well to form a smooth batter. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes.
    Add baking soda (if using) to the batter and stir gently.
    2. Prepare the Toppings
    In a separate bowl, mix chopped onions, tomatoes, green chilies, coriander leaves, and grated carrots or capsicum.
    3. Cook the Uttapam
    Heat a non-stick pan or tawa over medium heat and grease it with oil or ghee.
    Pour a ladleful of batter onto the pan and spread it into a small circle.
    Sprinkle the vegetable toppings evenly on the surface.
    Drizzle a little oil around the edges and cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom turns golden brown.
    Flip the uttapam carefully and cook the other side for 2 minutes.
    4. Serve Hot
    Serve the hot Rava Uttapam with coconut chutney, tomato chutney, or sambar.
