Ingredients

1 kg Yellow Moong Dal
500 g Onion
500 g Tomato - Hybrid
300 g Ginger Paste
200 g Dahi
100G Oleo
50 g Black Pepper Powder
500 g Capsicum Green
100 g Coriander Leaves
50G Green Chilies
100 g Jeera
100 g Red Chili Powder
100 g Salt
20 g Turmeric Powder

Instructions

1. Rinse the moong dal thoroughly under running water and soak it in water for 4-6 hours or overnight.
2. Drain the soaked dal and blend it into a smooth batter with yogurt, cumin seeds, green chilies, ginger paste, turmeric powder, and a pinch of salt. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter.
3. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with a few drops of oil.
4. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the skillet and spread it gently into a round shape about 1/4 inch thick.
5. Sprinkle the chopped onions, tomatoes, bell peppers, and coriander leaves over the top of the batter. Press them down slightly into the batter using a spatula.
6. Drizzle a few drops of oil around the edges of the uttapam and cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom turns golden brown.
7. Flip the uttapam carefully and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes until the vegetables are slightly cooked and the uttapam is fully done.
8. Repeat the process with the remaining batter and vegetables, greasing the skillet as needed.
9. Serve the uttapams hot with mint chutney or coconut chutney for a delicious and healthy breakfast.
