Method

Tap a number to tick off a step.

  1. In a bowl, combine the rice, gram flour and yoghurt with water to make a thick batter of pouring consistency.

  2. Add the finely chopped ginger, salt and chopped green chillies to the batter.

  3. Chop the tomato and green capsicum finely for the topping, mix them together and set aside.

  4. Heat a flat griddle over a medium flame and pour the oil onto it.

  5. When the griddle is hot, ladle on some batter and spread it into a circle like a pancake.

  6. Keep the uttapa on the thicker side. Cook one side, then turn it over.

  7. When you turn it, put some of the tomato-capsicum mixture in the centre.

  8. Flip it again and cook the other side until light brown.
