Notes

  1. Uttapam can be served with Sambhar, coconut chutney or any other chutney.
  2. You can add vegetables of your choice. You can also skip any of these vegetables if you want.
  3. If the batter becomes thin, add extra amount of sooji. If it becomes thick then add extra amount of water.
  4. I would suggest you to make Uttapam in non-stick tawa or pan so that Uttapam does not stick to it while preparing.
  5. Cook the Uttapam a little longer so that the vegetables are cooked properly. Carrot and French Beans takes time to cook.
  6. You can also sprinkle grated Mozzarella Cheese as a topping over the vegetables to make a cheesy style Uttapam.
  7. To make spicy Rava Uttapam, you can add Black Pepper Powder and Chilli Powder while making the batter.
