Recipe- Crispy And Healthy Instant Semolina Uttapam

Crisp savoury pancakes prepared from semolina batter and topped with onions, tomatoes and green chillies. A simple recipe for a delicious breakfast.

Ingredients

1 cup coarse semolina
1/2 cup yogurt
1 medium sized onion, finely chopped
1 large tomato, finely chopped
2 green chillies, finely chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped coriander leaves
2 tablespoons oil
Salt to taste

Method

- Combine semolina with yogurt , salt and about half cup water in a large bowl. Mix well to make a batter.

- Heat a flat non-stick pan and drizzle about half teaspoon oil. Pour about 3 tablespoons of batter and spread it evenly to make a round uttapam.

- Gently place a heart-shaped cookie cutter in the centre of the uttapam.

- Scatter chopped onions, green chillies and coriander leaves on the uttapam leaving the part of uttapam inside the cookie cutter.

- Fill the part of uttapam inside the cookie cutter with chopped tomatoes.

- Carefully remove the cookie cutter without breaking the uttapam. Drizzle about half teaspoon oil on top of the uttapam.

- When the base of the uttapam turns crisp and easily comes off the pan, flip it carefully with the help of a spatula. Cook for about 30 seconds.

- Repeat the same process to make more uttapams with the remaining batter.

- Serve hot with mint chutney and cafe mocha.
