Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Prepare the Batter Base

   In a bowl, combine 1 cup semolina, 1/2 cup flattened rice (poha), 2 tablespoons grated coconut, 1/2 cup curd, and 1/2 cup water. Mix well with a whisk.

2. 2.Rest and Blend

   Let the mixture rest for 2 minutes. Then, transfer the mixture to a blender jar. Add a little water as needed and blend until you get a smooth batter.

   Pour the blended batter into a bowl. Add salt to taste and mix well. Finally, add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda and mix thoroughly.

4. 4.Cook the Uttapam

   Heat a pan and grease it lightly with oil. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the pan to form a small uttapam.

5. 5.Add Toppings and Cook

   Sprinkle finely chopped onion, bell pepper, grated carrot, and fresh coriander on top of the uttapam. Drizzle a little oil around the edges. Cook until the bottom turns golden brown.

6. 6.Flip and Finish

   Flip the uttapam and cook the other side until it's also golden brown. Once cooked, remove it from the pan and serve hot.
