servings30
minutesThis recipe is a recreation of the original South Indian Uthappam. Its a savory Waffle with some vegetable toppings. The waffle is made with rice and dhal batter. Hence this is totally gluten free, suitable for vegans as well.
Ingredients
Uthappam Batter – 1 liter (34 oz.)
Oil – 20 ml ( 7 oz.) to grease the waffle maker
Finely Diced Onions, – 100 g ( 3.5 oz.)
Grated Carrots – 100 g ( 3.5 oz.)
Finely Diced Tomatoes – 100 g ( 3.5 oz.)
Finely Chopped Coriander leaves – 25 g ( 9 oz.)
Finely Diced Green Chilies – (2-6 chilies)
Salt to taste
Water if required to adjust the consistency of the batter.
Directions
- Pour 1/3 cup of the batter on a greased waffle maker.
- Add the vegetable toppings of finely diced onions, tomatoes, carrots, green chilies and coriander leaves.
- Remove from the waffle maker once done like any other waffle with a wooden spatula
- Serve with Sambar and Chutney which will serve as a dip.
Notes
- I usually make my dishes from the scratch as much as possible. I have ground the batter with all raw ingredients in a wet grinder. I know that time would be a constraint to many of us, so you can get a store bought idli / Uthappam batter and use it to make this dish. This ground batter is available in most Indian grocery stores.
