Recipe Bajra Uthappam is a type of savoury rice Dosa, originating from the Indian subcontinent, popular as breakfast foods in Southern India and the rest of the country too. The Uthappams are made in Dosa pan by a batter consisting of fermented pearl millet, black lentils (de-husked) and rice. The fermentation process breaks down the starches so that they are more readily metabolized by the body. Rice is a rich source of carbs, the urad dal and pearl millet are rich in proteins.
Many people confuse between, Uthappam and Dosa. Simple way to distinguish is that Uthappam would be smaller dia and thicker, whereas Dosas are opposite. Preparation of Batter is similar for Uthappam and Idli. It requires the following:
Pearl Millet / Bajra / Kambu – 1 cup
Idli Rice – 1 cup
Urad Dal – 3/4 cup
Fenugreek – 1 tsp
Salt – 1 tsp
Batter Preparation: – Wash and soak pearl millet, idli rice, urad dal and fenugreek together for 4 hours in fresh drinking water – Rinse all together for 3-4 times and drain the water completely – In a wet grinder, grind the mixture with the soaked water into a nice smooth batter. Ensure the batter doesn’t become watery and has sand-line gritty texture. – Take out the batter into the big vessel. – Keep this batter aside for fermentation for atleast 6-8 hours (preferably overnight). After fermentation, the batter rises well & turns light. – Add the required salt and mix well. – The batter shouldn’t be too thick or too thin. It should be in a thick pouring consistency.
Process:
– Heat your usual dosa tawa, rub it gently with few drops of oil.
– Once the tawa is hot, pour ladle of pearl millet batter and spread as thick dosa, don’t spread it thin.
– Sprinkle finely chopped onion, and coriander leaves generously over the uthappam.
