Rava Onion Uthappam

When i used to work in SEEPZ in mumbai we used to go out to this place called Kay dees for our lunch. They used to serve the loveliest Rava onion uthappam's ive ever tasted. I tried to recreate the same taste the other day. Well cant say it was a complete succes...
The first few uthappams just stuck to the pan(i did use a nonstick pan) and wouldnt come out. The rest didnt cook properly and i had to dump those too. Now the batter was sufficient for just two uthappam's. Its then that i got the hang of it. Oil !!! and lots of it.... that makes the uthappam nice, soft n lacy without sticking to the pan. Also, you need to pour out the batter real quickly in small sections around the pan and then give it a swirl to join them. This needs to be done super quick so that the uthhapam are nice and thin...


Here's the recipe..give it a try




Mix 1 cup of rice flour with 1 cup of rava(semolina).Add some chopped onions, green chillies, curry leaves, salt and 1 teaspoon of curd. Mix all this together. Now add around 2-3 cups of water. the batter should be slightly runnier than your dosa batter. Set aside for 5-10 minutes. Now heat a non stick pan and pour the batter in it. Pour it across the pan in small portions and then swirl the pan around so that the portions join. The uthappa doesnt have to be nice n round.. Now pour some oil around it. Let it cook till you see the sides leaving the pan and crisping up. Now flip it over and let the other side cook. Remove and serve hot with green coconut chutney or like i did with my mother in law's chammandi podi (chutney powder).



I had to make some more batter after i finally got the last two right :)..
