Mini Uthappa

Mini Uttappa in Marathi

Ingredients:
½ cup Urad Dal
1¼ to 1½ cup Rice
Salt to taste
1 Onion, sliced thinly and lengthwise
1 Tomato, finely chopped
1 tsp Green chili paste
Cilantro finely chopped
¼-cup oil



Method:
1) Soak rice and Urad Dal together in water for 7-8 hours. After 7-8 hours, drain water. Put Urad dal and rice into grinder. Add little water and grind to smooth paste. Add 1 tsp salt while grinding. This mixture should be of medium consistency.
2) Place ground mixture to warm place at least for 10-12 hours for fermentation. Cover the mixture container with lid. If climate is cold, it could slow down fermentation process. In that case, preheat oven for 2-3 minutes and switch off the oven. Put mixture container with lid in the oven. This will keep mixture warm and it will help to ferment mixture. After 10-12 hours, when mixture is fermented, add little salt if needed.
3) Once mixture is ready, take sliced onion into bowl and rub little salt to it.
4) Heat nonstick tawa, grease with ½ tsp oil, pour around 1/3 cup batter and spread in round shape to little thick layer. Sprinkle onion, tomato and chopped cilantro. Spread little green chili paste if you like the chili taste with Uthappa.
5) On medium heat Cover tawa with lid and let the Uthappa cook on steam. Once one side is done, turn the side and let it cook for couple more minutes. Serve hot Mini Uthappa with Sambar and Chutney.

Note:
1) To make Masala Uthappa, spread Potato stuffing (which we generally make for Masala Dosa) along with Onion and Tomato. Spread it to one side of Uthappa, keep this side down, and cook Uthappa for 1 minute. Serve hot with Chutney.
