Let the batter ferment overnight or for 8-10 hours in a warm place.
Cooking Steps
Once the batter has fermented, mix well.
Heat a non-stick tawa or griddle over medium heat. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the tawa and spread it in a circular motion to form a thick pancake, sprinkled finely chopped spinach, onions, tomatoes, and green chilies
Drizzle a few drops of oil around the edges of the pancake and let it cook until the top starts to look dry.
Flip the Uttapam and cook for another minute until the other side is golden brown.
