Batter Preparation

  1. 1

    Soak Ingredients

    In a bowl, soak rice, urad dal, and fenugreek seeds together in water for about 4-6 hours or overnight.

    After soaking, drain the water and transfer the mixture to a blender. Add 1 cup of fresh water and blend until you get a smooth batter.

    Ferment the Batter

    Transfer the blended batter to a large bowl, cover it, and let it ferment in a warm place for 8-12 hours until it doubles in size.

    Heat the Pan

    Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium heat and add a little oil to coat the surface.

    Pour the Batter

    Once the pan is hot, pour a ladleful of the batter onto the center of the skillet and spread it into a thick circle.

    Immediately sprinkle the topping mixture evenly over the uttapam while it is still wet.
