Cooking Steps
Wash and soak the urad dal and rice in water separately for 4-5 hours.
Drain the water and grind the urad dal into a fine paste using a blender or a mixer-grinder. Add water as needed.
Transfer the urad dal paste to a large mixing bowl.
Grind the rice into a coarse paste using a blender or a mixer-grinder. Add water as needed.
Transfer the rice paste to the same mixing bowl as the urad dal paste.
Add salt to taste and mix well.
Cover the bowl and let the batter ferment for 8-10 hours or overnight.
After fermentation, the batter will have risen and become fluffy.
Heat a tawa or a flat skillet over medium heat.
Take a ladleful of the batter and pour it onto the tawa.
Spread the batter into a circular shape using the back of the ladle.
Sprinkle some soya paneer, onions, tomatoes, capsicum, salt, and red chili powder on top of the batter.
Drizzle some oil on the edges of the uttapam and let it cook for 2-3 minutes.
Flip the uttapam and let it cook on the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
Remove the uttapam from the tawa and repeat the process with the remaining batter and toppings.
Serve hot.
