The veggies added in the uttapam will provide that extra punch of vitamins and minerals to stay charged up through the day.

  2. Add salt and water. mix till it becomes a pouring consistency.
  3. Cover & keep it aside to ferment for 30 mins.

  5. Pour the batter in the center to make a small circle
  6. Drizzle some oil in the sides
  7. Sprinkle a little-roasted ajwain & jeera powder.

Quick Tips:

1) For different variations, you can add chopped tomato, chopped capsicum or even add all the veggies together.

2) Best eaten hot as uttapam tends to be thick, consuming it when cold will make it rubbery.

3) Adding Ajwain & Jeera powder in the batter makes the Ragi to be easily digested by little babies.

4) Keep the dosa's small sized. Ragi does not have gluten, so it tends to break easily if the dosas are made big & heavy.
