Rava Uttapam Style Pancakes


Introduction

Rava Uttapam is a traditional south Indian dish, and I have just changed this a little bit and made it like little pancakes. Healthy, Light and tasty food - can be used for breakfast, lunch, snacks or dinner.

Recipe (server 1)

A) Ingredients

Sooji - 5-6 table spoons
Besan - 1 table spoon
Curd - 3-4 table spoons
1/4 Red Capsicum - sliced finely into 1/2 * 1/2 cm cubes
2 green chillies - sliced finely
1 baby corn - sliced into fine dices of 1/2 cm width
Curd - Enough to mix with 1 bowl of rice
Cooking oil
Salt - Per taste
Red Chilli Powder (Optional, Use if you like spicy food)
Chat Powder (Optional, Use if you like spicy food)
Water

B) Method

Mix Sooji, besan and curd nicely in a bowl and leave for 2-3 min.
Add all the sliced vegetables, salt (to taste).
If you need to make the whole thing more spicy add red chilli powder (1/2 spoon) and chat powder (1/2 table spoon).
Mix the whole mixture well and add little water (around 2-3 spoons) and get the mixture to a medium thick consistency.

Heat a pan, and add little oil. Spread out 2 table spoons of mixture at a time, and make small pancakes out of it.
Cook as much as you would like to have it crisp. Serve hot with sauce.

Tip: The vegetables mix can be varied and different combinations can be used, for example can use tomato, onion, beans etc. Try not to use something like carrots as that will get a sweet taste.
You can serve this with tomato sauce, coconut chutney, green chutney or any kind of chutneys you make like :)
