Uttappam


For batter :
Soak - for minimum 3 hours
Urad dal - 3/4 cup
Sona masoori rice or jasmine rice - 2 cups
Blend the above with 1 cup of 'Avalakki', into a paste (don't make it very smooth).
Add some baking powder and salt, and let it ferment for about 8 hours.

Rest of the ingredients - toppings:
Onions, tomato, green chillies, coriander leaves and curry leaves - very finely chopped. Add a pinch of salt and a pinch of jeera powder for taste. Mix them all in a separate bowl.

Take a dosa pan, preferably a flat one, pour a small cup size of the batter on it, (spread it evenly like a flat pancake). The thickness of the dosa needs to be slightly thicker than the normal masala dosa. Immidiately spread the toppings all over the batter and sprinkle oil generously on it. Once it turns dark brown, flip it. Leave it on for about a minute and transfer it to a plate. Serve hot along with some coconut and mint chutney.
