In a bowl, take the
Idli dosa batter without stirring.
To this, add finely chopped onions, green chillies, coriander, curry leaves, a teaspoon of cumin seeds and salt to taste. Give it a gentle stir.
Heat a pan / tava or griddle over medium heat. Add a teaspoon of oil in the centre and spread a large spoonful of the batter onto the hot griddle. Do not spread out very thin, spread to about 1/3rd to 1/2 an inch.
You can also sprinkle some more chopped onions, green chillies, coriander, curry leaves and a teaspoon of cumin seeds over the batter (optional).
Drizzle a little oil around the uttapam.
Close with a lid and cook over medium heat till the sides begin to turn brown.
Flip over, cover and cook for a minute.
Serve hot with your favourite chutney and sambhar.
