Preparation
Rinse the rice and lentils separately in cold water and soak them for 4-5 hours.
Drain the water and grind the rice and lentils separately to a smooth batter. Mix the two batters together and add water as needed to make a thick batter.
Add salt to the batter and mix well. Keep the batter aside to ferment overnight or for 8-10 hours.
Cooking Steps
In a mixing bowl, combine batter,curd and ragi flour. Mix well.
Add enough water to make a smooth batter, similar to pancake batter. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
Heat a non-stick tawa or griddle over medium heat. Grease it with a little oil.
Pour a ladleful of batter onto the tawa and spread it evenly, similar to a pancake.
Sprinkle some finely chopped onion, green chili, and coriander leaves on top of the batter.
Drizzle a little oil around the edges of the uttapam and let it cook for 2-3 minutes over medium heat.
Flip the uttapam and cook for another 1-2 minutes until both sides are golden brown and crispy.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter and toppings.
Serve hot.
