ABOUT Eggy Veggie Uttappam.. RECIPE

An easy peasy yummy uttappam recipe with a new twist by me. This has both the veggies and the egg in it. Healthy and nutritious with added protiens too. My innovative take on this super duper South Indian delicacy loved by everyone. Try this for your kids and see how fast it vanishes from their plates. Beautiful in looks and way more healthier option for the daily breakfast or even an excellent idea for a happy brunch.

Parboiled rice 2 cups
Urad dal 3/4 th cup

Bengal gram or chana dal 1 tbsp
Salt to taste

Green chillies finely chopped 3 to 4

Instructions

First of all soak the rice and the dal separately in drinking water.
Add the fenugreek seeds and bengal gram to the dal while soaking.
Soak them for atleast 5 hours.
Grind them separately using water in which they have been soaked very sparingly.
Do not use much water. The batter should be semi thick.
Add salt according to taste, cover and allow it to ferment overnight.
Next morning, add some more water if it is very thick and adjust the salt too.
Heat a cast iron griddle or a non stick pan and pour a ladleful of the batter onto it.
Do not spread much. It should be thicker.
Add a beaten egg on top.
Followed by the veggies, green chillies or the red chilli flakes and chopped coriander.
Add more or less veggies as per your taste.
Drizzle ghee or oil on top and also on the sides.
Cover and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on low to medium flame only.
Flip it over and cook if you like it more crispier uttappam for 1 more minute.
Serve them hot right away with any chutney or pickle of your liking.
