Onion,tomatoes and Dill Uttapams

Ingredients:
Uttapam batter: enough to make for 3-4 people
I bowl of finely chopped tomatoes
1 bowl of finely chopped onions
1 bowl of finely chopped dill.
2-3 finely chopped green chillies ( depending on spice level required)


Method: 
 For the batter:
Uttapam batter is made up of 1 portion of urad dal and 3 portions of rice. One half of the rice is boiled rice and other half is kolam or basmati or any rice other than boiled rice. Rice and dal are washed separately and left overnight to soak well and after grinding them very fine separately, they are mixed well and left to ferment in a warm place for 12 to 18 hours.
 To make the Uttapams : 

  • Put your non-stick pan or tawa on burner and heat it up to medium heat. Use a serving spoon to spread the batter thick, spread a tsp of oil on sides (optional) take a handful of all the ingredients ( tomatoes,onions,chillies and dill) and spread over one side of the uttappam( side facing you- do this while the batter is still wet so that the veggies settle into the batter well).Cover the pan for a while.
  •  Fire should be between medium and low. When it is ready (light brown) remove the lid and turn the Uttapam with the help of a spatula.
  • Allow it to bake for a while without the lid now. Turn it once more and keep it for less than a minute to make it crisp.
  •  Serve with sambar and coconut chutney
