1mediumChopped Onion
1mediumChopped Tomato
2tablespoonChopped Capsicum
2tablespoonChopped Carrot
2tablespoonChopped French Beans
2tablespoonChopped Coriander Leaves
2piecesChopped Chilli
1teaspoonGinger Paste(Optional)

Salt to Taste
Oil for shallow frying
Instructions
Take a large bowl. Add Semolina (Rava/Sooji) and Curd. Mix both the ingredients properly.
Now add small amount of water and mix it to make a thick batter. The batter should neither be too thin nor too thick.
Cover the batter with a lid and keep it aside for 10-15 minutes so that sooji swells and the size increases by absorbing water.
After 10-15 minutes, take the batter and add the chopped vegetables such as carrot, beans, onion, tomato, capsicum, chilli and coriander leaves. Keep small amount of onion, tomato and capsicum to use it later on as toppings.
Next add Ginger Paste and Salt. Mix it so that the vegetables are uniformly spread all over the batter. Keep it aside.
Heat pan or tawa over medium flame.
Add small amount of oil into it and spread it all around the tawa.
Take small amount of batter in a large serving spoon and place it over the tawa. Spread it with the help of spatula to make a thick pan cake.
Take the left over veggies such as tomato, onion and capsicum and uniformly place it over the batter. Press the vegetables with the spatula so that it sticks to the batter.
Now take small amount of Chaat Masala and sprinkle it over the vegetables with your fingertips.
Then drizzle some oil on top of the batter.
Cook the base for 3-4 minutes or till it becomes slightly brown. Flip the Uttapam gently after the base is cooked.
Now cook the other side till the veggies are slightly golden in colour. Cook it for longer duration if you are using carrot and French beans.
Flip the Uttapam couple of times to cook it evenly. Now the Uttapam is cooked.
Take it out in a plate and serve it with Sambhar and Coconut Chutney or Coriander Chutney.
Notes
Uttapam can be served with Sambhar, coconut chutney or any other chutney.
You can add vegetables of your choice. You can also skip any of these vegetables if you want.
If the batter becomes thin, add extra amount of sooji. If it becomes thick then add extra amount of water.
I would suggest you to make Uttapam in non-stick tawa or pan so that Uttapam does not stick to it while preparing.
Cook the Uttapam a little longer so that the vegetables are cooked properly. Carrot and French Beans takes time to cook.
You can also sprinkle grated Mozzarella Cheese as a topping over the vegetables to make a cheesy style Uttapam.
To make spicy Rava Uttapam, you can add Black Pepper Powder and Chilli Powder while making the batter.
