Instant uthappam (Sunday breakfast recipe)

Sunday breakfast decisions are the most tough one to make since all of them are at home and that's the only day the family can spend time with each other and on such days something special and yummy made in the kitchen adds value to the Sunday. The same happened to me this Sunday but the only diferrence was that I had to make breakfast only for 4 of us rather than 8 on usual days since In-laws and brother in law's family were out to visit a temple.

I wanted to make something easy yet tasty so my mind decided upon instant uthappam and lo it was ready.


Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes (excludes time for making uthappam's)


Ingredients: 

1. Vegetables (I took 3 carrots, 1 capsicum, 3 tomatoes and of course 4 onions)
2. Wheat flour 2 cups
3. Rice flour 3 cups
4. Chiroti rava (sooji) 1 cup
5. Besan 1/2 cup
6. Green chillies 6-7
8. Oil
9. Coriander leaves
10. Hing a pinch
11. Jeera seeds 11/2 tsp
12. Water
13. Cooking soda a pinch


Method: 

1. Chop the vegetables finely and keep aside. Grate the carrots as well.
2. Heat oil in a kadhai and add 2 tsp of oil. Now add onions, capsicums, grated carrots and tomatoes and saute for about 5-7 minutes until they turn tender mildly.
3. Let this cool.
4. In a vessel add the flours, sooji, cooking soda, hing and mix well leaving no lumps with water. Don't make it too watery.





5. Add jeera seeds, green chillies chopped finely, salt and cooled sauteed vegetables and mix well.
6. Heat tawa and pour over the batter and make sure its thick enough unlike the usual dosa. Cook well both sides and serve hot.
