Ingredients

2 cups idli dosa batter
1 onion—chopped
1/2 tomato, seeded and finely chopped
2 green chillies--finely chopped
1 carrot, finely shredded
2 tbsp chopped cilantro
1 tbsp fresh or frozen peas
1 tsp cumin seeds
Small handful curry leaves
1 tsp oil, for each uthappam

How to make Uthappam

Heat a griddle over medium heat.
Once it is hot enough, use a ladle to pour batter and spread the batter by rotating the griddle in circular motion. This should create a thick dosa. You’ll notice some bubbles in the uthappam after a minute.
Sprinkle over with all the vegetables and sprinkle cumin seeds last. Use a spatula or ladle to press the vegetables gently.
Sprinkle 1 tsp. oil over the dosa and drizzle a few drops on the vegetables.Once the bottom starts to turn golden brown, you’ll notice many holes on the top. Flip over the dosa so that the bottom side is now up.
If required, sprinkle this side with little oil. Let the other side cook for a couple of minutes.
Once it is properly cooked, use a spatula to remove the uthappam from the pan.
Serve hot with the sambar or chutney of your choice.
