Ingredients

• Ingredients –
• 1 cup Horse Gram
• 1/2 cup Urad dal
• 1/2 tsp. fenugreek seeds
• 1/2 tsp. salt or to taste
• oil for shallow frying
• Topping –
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 tomato, chopped

Steps

1. Soak the horse gram, urad dal and fenugreek seeds in sufficient water overnight.
2. Grind into a smooth paste. Add water as required. The batter should be of pouring consistency. Add salt & mix well.
3. Ferment for 6-8 hours or overnight.
4. In a bowl, mix together onion, tomatoes, green chilies & coriander leaves. Keep aside.
5. Heat a tawa / griddle. Drizzle some oil & spread around. Sprinkle some water. After it sizzles off, wipe dry with a tissue paper. Pour a ladle of the batter & spread in a circular motion with the back of the ladle. Drizzle some oil around the edges & add little of the onion-tomato mix over it. Then sprinkle some idli podi & fry on a medium flame for a minute or two.
6. Flip it over & let it cook further for a minute. Transfer to a serving plate. Make similar uttapams with the remaining batter.
7. Serve them hot with sambar & coconut chutney for a healthy breakfast.
