Instant Rava Uttapam

Ingredients

• 1 cup Rava (Semolina/Sooji)
• 0.5 cup Curd (Yogurt)
• 0.75 cup Water
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 1 small Tomato, finely chopped
• 2 pieces Green Chili, minced
• 0.5 inch Ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Eno (Fruit Salt) or Baking Soda(optional)
• 2 tablespoons Oil or Ghee

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the rava, curd, and salt.

2. 2

   Gradually add water and whisk to form a thick, smooth batter; let it rest for 15 minutes to allow the rava to absorb moisture.

3. 3

   Check the consistency after resting; if the batter is too thick, add a tablespoon of water to reach a pouring consistency.

4. 4

   Stir in the grated ginger and green chilies, then add the fruit salt if using for extra fluffiness.

5. 5

   Heat a non-stick tawa or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil.

6. 6

   Pour a ladleful of batter onto the center and spread slightly into a thick pancake.

7. 7

   Immediately sprinkle chopped onions, tomatoes, and coriander over the top, pressing them gently with a spatula.

8. 8

   Drizzle oil around the edges and cook until the bottom is golden brown, then flip and cook the vegetable side for 1-2 minutes.
