I believe that pancake is the most common breakfast in the world. Every country, and every region has it’s own version of a pancake. India also has a lot of pancake versions, some sweet, some savory. The most popular Indian pancakes are cheela, dosa, and uttapam but there are many more. The pancake which I am sharing today is a savory pancake from South India, called Uttapam. There are different ways of making it and I am sharing the recipe of Rava uttapam also known as Sooji Uttapam.
What is Rava Uttapam?
Rava Uttapam is a type of Uttapam which is made using semolina. Rava or Sooji is the Hindi word for semolina. It is also considered the instant version of Uttapam. The reason is that, unlike the normal Uttapam which is made by soaking rice and lentils for a few hours, grinding it, and then fermenting the batter, Rava Uttapam needs just 10-15 minutes of soaking of semolina in yogurt and water. The batter is then used to make pancakes and is topped with different ingredients like vegetables, herbs, or grated coconut. Just like Pizza, you can create different varieties of Uttapam by changing the toppings.
Serving rava uttapam
Generally, Uttapam is served with a variety of Indian dips and chutneys. You can check the recipes of the following dishes to get an idea of what you can serve with it:
How to make Vegan Rava Uttapam?
Generally, yogurt is added to the Rava Uttapam batter as it makes it very soft and also adds a very nice tangy taste to it. However, if you are a vegan, either skip the yogurt or use a plant-based yogurt. To make them tangy add some lime juice to the batter.
