Mix Dal Uttapam

 This is a dish which is full of protein and no carbohydrates...very easy to prepare.You can go for this even when you have not planned in advance,as traditional uttapams require fermenting the batter etc.They look yummy as they are very colourful..aren't they ? try it out for yourself and do let me know :)


Ingredients -
dals - tur,urad,chana,moong,masur.
onion
green chillies
capsicum
tomato
carrot
coriander leaves
ginger
cumin seeds/jeera
turmeric powder
salt
oil

Method -
I took majorly moong dal(1cup) and the rest were 2tbspn each.
Wash the dals and soak them(together) in water for 6-7hours or overnight.
Grind the dals with very less water, and with a piece of ginger and green chillies in a mixer.
Take care that you do not add more water, or else the batter will become watery.Remember we are preparing an uttapam, so we need the batter a bit thick.
Chop the following finely - onion,tomato,carrot,capsicum,green chillies,corinader leaves.
To the ground batter add whole jeera,pinch of haldi powder and salt as per taste.
Adjust the salt taste in the batter now, as you will not be able to add salt after making the uttapams.
Heat a non-stick tawa.
Drizzle some oil.
Add a laddle full of batter in the center and lightly dab it.
Put in pinch of all veggies over it and adjust salt for the veggies.
I prefer to make small uttapams so that 3-4 can be prepared at a time, to save time :)
Let it cook for 3-4min and then flip it to cook on the other side.
Cook for another 2-3min.
Serve hot uttapams with tomato ketchup or chutney of your choice :)
