Instant Uttapam Recipe with Green Split Lentils and Rice | healthy Gluten Free Veg recipes
Uttapam is a South-Indian delicacy which uses rice and lentils mix fermented batter used to make savory pancakes. I have twisted around it by using Moong Khichdi dal with rice to have amazing ones!!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Green Moong Split Lentil Khichdi daal
- 1/2 cup rice I have used Basmati rice
- 1 large onion chopped small
- 1 small green chilli minced
- 1 tablespoon oil for frying
- 1.5 tsp Red Chilly can reduce it for less spicy
- 1/2 cup water
- salt as per taste
Instructions
- Take Rice and Moong Khichdi dal together in a bowl and wash them thoroughly. Soak them for at least 10 hours or overnight. In peak summers, one may soak them for 4-5 hours. Remove the water and wash again. The one in pic you see is the soaked one.
- Transfer the rice dal mixture to blender and make a thick paste. It tales 4-5 min of grinding.
- The smooth paste is perfect if its grainy as it makes crispy uttapam. You may grind further as per your liking. You may keep this mixture for about an hour.
- Add onions, green chilly, salt, red chilly , lemon juice and garm masala. Mix it well and if its very thick, you may add water. I have used a slightly thick consistency. You may make a thinner one by adding more water.
- Take two ladles and spread it on hot tawa.
- Cover it with lid for easy cooking.
- Flip it to cook from the other side.
- This is the perfect look and shape.
- The scrumptious Uttapam are ready!! Serve with your choice of chutney! Enjoy!!
Notes
- You may use any vegan oil other than Desi Ghee, though if you trust me they taste best with Ghee.
- Remember to place batter on Hot Tawa and not cold or else it would stick to Tawa. I have used Iron Tawa and they turned out absolutely great.
- Use a raw onion to clean Tawa in between two uttapams. Add little oil so that Tawa is not dry.
- Simmer the flame so that it's not raw. You may cover Uttapam with lid to use less oil and have a properly cooked one.
