Uttapam

Uttapam is a breakfast dish made with the left over dosa batter!

Ingredients for one uttapam:

Left over dosa batter-3/4 katori,
Onion-1/2-finely chopped,
Green chilli-1-chopped,
Tomato-1 small-chopped,
Green coriander leaves-1 tbsp,
Salt-a pinch(optional)-as the batter has salt.

Method:
Mix onion,green chilli and tomato together or you can keep it separately.
We have to follow the same procedure as making dosa.

Only difference will be,we will not spread the batter to make thin crispy dosa.
Grease the tawa with 1/2 tsp of oil and spread the oil with half cut oil onion or your spatula only around 6 inch in the center.
As the tawa heats up,lower the heat and pour the batter in the center and move the katori in circular motion only once, just around the center to spread the batter a little.

Raise the heat and let the batter pop up holes around.

Lower the heat and let it cook and dry on top.

Sprinkle onion,tomato,green chilli,coriander leaves.( you can sprinkle a pinch of salt on top)
Spoon 1 tsp of oil around the batter and on top.

Cover and let it cook for 1/2 minute.

When the edges are brown,using a flat spatula loosen the uttapam form the sides and bottom and then flip the bottom for the top to cook inside.
Lower the heat again and with your flat spatula lightly press the uttapam,as you would to make paratha or stuffed paratha.

Flip again to see if the top is cooked or not.

If cooked,close gas.
Take out in a plate and serve with coconut and onion chutney.

 You can use any other vegetable for topping!

Dosa batter can be kept in the fridge for a week.
