Vegetable uthappam

Vegetable Uthappam is one of the popular dosa varieties which is often topped with assorted veggies to enhance the taste. Uthappam is an ideal south Indian breakfast made with idly batter. idly batter is prepared with boiled rice and urad dal in a ratio of 4:1 along with a tablespoon of fenugreek seeds. Boiled rice and urad dal with fenugreek seeds are soaked separately prior to grinding. then, soaked urad dal is ground to a nice thick batter. later, soaked boiled rice is ground with a good amount of water into a thick batter. both the batters are mixed together with required salt to taste. The batter is left undisturbed for overnight fermentation.
