Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup red poha
  • 1/2 cup chiroti rava / fine rava
  • 1/2 cup curd
  • 1/2 cup water, or as required
  • salt, as per taste
  • idli-podi, as required
  • 1/2 cup chopped onions, optional
  • oil, to cook

Instructions
 

  • Wash and soak the red poha in enough water for 10 minutes.
  • After 10 minutes, drain the water and transfer it to a mixer grinder and grind it to a smooth paste using only little water.
  • Transfer it to a bowl.
  • Add the chiroti rava, curd and salt to the red poha paste. Mix everything.
  • Add 1/2 cup water or as required to make a smooth batter which is thicker in consistency than normal dosa batter. Let the batter sit for 10 minutes.
  • Heat a iron or non-stick tawa on medium flame.
  • Spread some oil on the tawa.
  • Pour a ladle full of batter on the tawa. Do not spread it. Smear some oil on the edges.
  • Add some chopped onions on top of the uthappam. Add 2 tsp of idli-podi or as per taste.
  • Cook the bottom side for 2-3 minutes and flip the uthappam to cook the other side also for 2-3 minutes. Smear some more oil to cook the other side.
  • Serve hot with chutney or sambar.

Notes

  • Red poha can also be replaced with the everyday white poha.
  • While preparing the batter, add water adjusting to the consistency.
  • The batter should be thicker than the normal dosa batter.
  • Do not spread the batter on the tawa. Uthappam is quite thicker than normal dosa.
  • Gingelly oil can also be smeared on the podi before flipping the uthappam. Gingelly oil gives a very nice flavor to it.
  • Adding onion is optional.
  • The amount of idli-podi added is as per taste of the individual.
  • Let the batter rest for 10 minutes, before making uthappam. If the batter becomes too thick, then add some water to dilute.
  • Onions can also be added along with the batter.
