Onion Uttapam Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 cups (360 gm) parboiled rice 
• 1/2 cup (90 gm) split and husked Bengal Gram (dhuli urad) 
• 1/2 tsp fenugreek seeds 
• 2 tsp salt 
• An iron griddle or tawa 
• Oil to smear the pan for cooking the uttapam

Cooking Method:

Soak rice, daal and methi in water for 5-6 hours. 
Grind fine, add salt and enough water to make a dropping consistency and leave to ferment 5-6 hours. 
Heat tawa, and brush oil over it. When really hot, splash a little water over it, and pour about 1 cup of batter on to it. 
It will spread a little. When the edges start browning a bit, pour a trail of oil around it. 
Turn it over and let it brown on the other side too. 

Before you turn the uttapam over, sprinkle a mixture of finely chopped onions, tomatoes, coriander leaves and green chillies.
