Instant Rawa Uthappam

Ingredients:

• Rava/ Semolina/ Sooji - 1 cup
• Curd/ Yogurt/ sour cream - 1cup
• Water - as required
• Onion - 1/2 medium size , chopped finely
• Tomato - 1 medium size ,finely chopped
• Green chili - 1-2 as per taste
• Capsicum - 1/4 finely chopped
• Red chili powder - as per taste
• Coriander leaves - 1 fistful , finely chopped
• Oil- for making the uttapam

Method:

• Take rava in a vessel and add half of the curd ( the more sour the curd is the better it tastes) , add water so that the batter that is formed is of medium consistency. Let it stand for 10 -15 minutes ,in the meanwhile you can chop up the vegetables .
• After 15 minutes , the rava would have soaked up the water and the batter would have become thick , add the remaining curd and mix well . Now add the vegetables ,salt , chili powder and mix the batter once more.
• Take a frying pan and heat it over the stove , add a few drops of oil and then spread a ladleful of the batter on the pan . Spread it a little with the ladle. Now pour a few more drops of oil over it and cover the pan with a cover . Let it cook for a couple of minutes , then flip over to the other side and cook similarly.
• When both the sides are well cooked ( slight brown spots would appear) , serve hot with tomato ketchup or the traditional coconut chutney.

Tip:: If the rava n curd mixture stands for an hour or more it gives an entirely diff taste which is really good too. I have tried it once.
