Uttapa is a popular Tamil Nadu breakfast, made of rice and urad dal. It is served along coconut chutney or sambhar. It is similar to dosa but the ingredients differ, so does the method.

Onions ( finely chopped) - 2 nos.

Method:

1. Soak the rice and dal in water for some time.
2. Grind it to a smooth paste. Add salt to it. Keep aside for 6-8 hours.

4. Pour one large spoon of batter to a non-stick pan. Spread it out using the spoon.
5. Sprinkle onions, tomatoes, green chillies and coriander leaves. Increase the flame.
6. Pour oil on all sides.
7. Once the uttapa is fried on one side, flip it over.
8. Pour oil again on all the sides.
9. Cook till the uttapa is crisp.
10. Serve hot with coconut chutney or sambhar.

Making Time: 15 minutes (excluding the soaking and fermentation time).
