You can make this amazing variation of uttapam with basic dosa batter. If you are in hurry, you can also prepare this with rava (Sooji or Semolina) and curd batter. Here I have used rava batter as this is easy to make and no need to ferment. This is a Fusion recipe that you can cook for your family and friends.

Cooking Time:   20 minutes
Serving: 3

Ingredients:

1 cup sooji
½ cup curd
Salt to taste
1 onion chopped
5-6 beans, chopped
½ cup Capsicum, chopped
1 cup Cabbage, chopped
¼ tsp. red chilli powder
1 green chilli, chopped
1 cup cheese, grated
¼ tsp. black pepper powder
¼ tsp. red chilli flakes

Instructions:

Take sooji, salt and curd in a bowl. 


Add water to make a smooth and thick batter. 


Keep aside for 15 minutes.


After 15 minutes add chopped capsicum, onion, beans and cabbage. Mix properly.





Add red chilli powder and adjust salt.


Check consistency of batter. Sooji absorbs water so it becomes thick. If batter is thick, add little water to make a batter thick consistency. Add chopped green chilli and mix.



Heat a nonstick pan or tawa over medium flame. Pour a ladleful of uttapam batter and spread in a circular motion with the help of ladle. It should not be too much thick or thin.


Spread some oil around the edges of uttapam. Cook it for 1-2 minute. When the base is cooked and become brown in color, flip gently with the help of spatula. Cook it for another 1-2 minute until it become lightly crispy.


Then flip again and Sprinkle some grated cheese over the uttapam. 


Sprinkle some black pepper powder and red chilli flakes. Cover with a lid and cook for 5 minutes or until cheese melts.


Serve the uttapam flat and hot without folding it.
Serve with chutney or sauces of your choice.

Tips:

  • You can add chopped coriander or shredded cabbage.
  • You can apply cheese spread instead of mozzarella or processed cheese.
  • You can sprinkle pizza seasoning too and apply pizza sauce over it to give a pizza taste.
  • You can use corns and olives.
  • If you want to spread veggies over uttapam instead of mixing in batter, skip step 3. In step 5 spread all veggies on top of the uttapam evenly. After that gently press the vegetables with the spatula, so that they stick to the batter. And follow the next steps.
