Vegetable uthappam (Kaikari uthappam)

Vegetable uthappam (Vegetable thick pan cake) - Preparation time 15 mins
This i tried in my home. Added some vegetables on dosai & idli flour and also when the idli flour is sour. It will be bit spicy so can be taken without any side dish. You can try it out in fermented idli dough only thing is the batter has to be thick as we use for idli.

Ingredients:-
Small onion - 5 (peeled and cut into small semi circles)

Carrot - 1 (finely grated)
Tomato - 1 (Remove the seed and chop finely)
Coriander leaves - finely chopped 1 tbsp
Green chili - 2 (finely chopped)
Mustard seed - 1/4 tsp
Sesame oil - 4 tbsp
Urad dal - 1 tsp
Curry leaves - 1 string (finely chopped)
Ginger - 1 tbsp chopped
Idli flour - 2 cup

Preparation method:-
Heat a kadai. Add 1 tbsp oil, mustard seed to splutter, urad dal to golden color, add the chili, onion, carrot,ginger, little salt to cook.
Add the garnish, coriander leaves and curry leaves to idli flour and mix well.
Heat the kadai and pour one small ladle of uthappam flour. Don't spread too much because, it will become dosai instead of uthappam. Top the uthappam with chopped tomato.
Cook in low flame and cover with a lid. After few mins remove the lid and see whether the bottom side has become brown.
Now turn the uthappam carefully and leave the other side to cook and become brown (don't cover now). The side will be crisp and center portion will be soft.
This will be a colorful and tasty dish. I am sure you all will love it. Only if you cook in slow flame it will be cooked well.
