Ingredients:
Black gram lentils (Urad dal) - 1 cup
Raw rice or rice flour - 2 cups
Coriander leaves (chopped finely) - 2 tbsp
Green chillies (chopped finely) - 2-3
Ginger (chopped finely) - small piece
Onions (chopped finely) - 2
Oil
Salt to taste
Method:
Wash the rice and lentils seperately and seperately soak in water for about 5 hours. Blend both of them seperately into a smooth paste. The batter consistency should not be too watery, but it should be of pouring consistency. Mix both together and add the salt. Let it ferment for 12-14 hrs. Mix together the green chillies, onions, coriander and the onions in a small bowl. Keep aside. Rub some oil on a pan and heat it. When the pan is hot, pour some batter onto it. Using circular motions with the ladle, spread the batter to make a thick circle. Let it cook on the under side. Keep it cover so that it roasts well. Use medium heat or else the batter will burn. Now sprinkle some of the onion mixture on the top side and overturn the uttapam. Cook on the other side similiarly. When both sides are sufficiently roasted, lift it off the pan. Repeat for the rest of the batter. Eat Uttapam with or without coconut chutney.
