Ground Rice Uthappam !

Firstly wash and soak the dal and rice rawa in enough water, seperately for 6 to 8 hours or until doubled. Later grind the dal into fine paste and set in a big deeper bowl.

Next using your palms squeeze out water from rice rawa and add to the dal paste. Repeat the process of squeezing until all the rawa is done. Later mix both the dal paste and rawa thourougly..

Cover this and set in a warm place until fermented or for overnight. Next day add enough salt and adjust the consistency adding water if required, the batter has to be thick like idli batter.

Heat a skillet or tawa until hot. Then drizzle a drop of oil and wipe the tawa with a paper towel. Now pour a laddle full of batter and spread lightly, resulting in thick dosa.

Drizzle oil at the sides and center, cook on both sides until golden and serve.. This is for the plain Uthappam.

You can use topping of veggies like onion, coriander, chillies, tomatoes chopped and grated carrots to make vegetable uthappam. And just chopped onion toppings to make onion uthappam. I made small veggie uthappams for kids. No need to flip the dosa with toppings,just cover with a lid and cook until done.

Uthappams are now ready, serve it with a bowl of coconut chutney. They taste so good and its a comfort food for me. This reminds me of home and mom's cooking! Feel Nostalgic whenever I make such kind of dishes. Love you Maa !!!
