Jowar (Sorghum) Uthappam- oil-free!

Traditionally uttapams were made with leftover batter after making dosa. The batter would be slightly sour and adding vegetables reduces the sour taste. Unlike a dosa, Uthapams are soft and fluffy, crisp on one side and porous and fuffy on the other side.
Try this fluffy jowar uthappam recipe.
Ingredients
- Jowar kernels: ½ cup
- Brown rice: ½ cup
- Urad dal: ½ cup
- Methi seeds: 1 tbsp
- Poha: 2 tbsp
- Rock salt: to taste
- Onions: ¼ cup(sliced)
- Carrots: ¼ cup(grated)
- Cabbage: ¼ cup(shredded)
- Coconut: 2 tbsp(grated)
- Green chili: 2 nos(finely chopped)
- Coriander leaves: 2 tbsp(chopped)
Method
- Wash and soak sorghum, rice, and poha together overnight.
- Wash and soak urad dal and fenugreek seeds overnight.
- Drain the water and grind urad dal with fenugreek seeds adding little water at a time to get a smooth and fluffy paste.
- Transfer to a big vessel.
- Drain the water and grind sorghum rice and poha to a smooth paste adding water.
- Mix the sorghum rice paste to the ground urad dal and add salt and mix well.
- Leave undisturbed in a warm place to ferment, depending on the weather it could take 4-6 hrs to ferment.
- Stir well and adjust the consistency to make a batter slightly thicker than you do for dosa.
- Add all the vegetables, chopped green chili , grated coconut, and chopped coriander leaves to the batter and mix well.
-
Heat a griddle and pour the batter. Do not spread the batter too thin.
-
Cover and cook for a few minutes on low flame.
-
Uncover and turn the uthappam over and cook on the other side too on medium flame.
-
Serve hot with choice of chutneys. South-indian-style-coconut-chutney and tomato-peanut-chutney or mint-coconut-chutney
Wellcure tip:
- Cooked covered, uthappams can also be served after cooking only on one side. However, I prefer to cook them on both sides.
-
Depending on the temperature and weather you may need to ferment the batter for a couple of hours longer.
Eating guide:
-
Food group: Lentils & Millets
-
Millets (like sorghum) are gluten-free, rich in fibre and high in nutritional value. They are a good option to add variety to your meals or when you want to go grain-free
-
Lentils are natural foods, which provide the much-needed material for growth and repair.
