a healthy and so delicious breakfast using leftover Raita in a jiffy
ingredients:
- Rice flour 2 cup
- Gram flour (besan) (optional) 2 tbsp
- Raita (tomato & onion raita) 1.5 cup
- Green chili 2-3 no.
- Coriander leaf (finely chopped) few
- Spring onion (finely chopped) few

- Water as needed
instructions:
How to cook Uttapam using LEFTOVER Raita
- In a mixing bowl take raita, rice flour, besan, salt, chopped coriander leaves, chopped green chilies and mix well.
- The batter has to be a little thick consistency, so if after mixing everything it seems much thick add little water to get a perfect consistency batter (as of normal uttapam batter).
- Then smear oil on a dosa pan or regular tawa.
- Pour 1 ladle full of batter in the center of the pan and allow to spread to get a round shape.
- Sprinkle chopped spring onions, drizzle some oil on top and cover with a lid.
- Allow to cook over low-medium heat for 2-3 minutes or until top side changes slightly.
- Gently flip and cook the other side.
- Transfer to a plate and make some more uttapam in similar way with rest batter.
- Serve immediately as it is or with any Indian chutney or sambar !
NOTES:
Always keep the heat over low-medium, else the uttapam will not cook properly.
As in my raita I had already added some spice powder (raita masala powder), so I didn't add any spice powder to the batter.
One can choose some cumin powder or chili powder or raita masala or any other as per choice.
Spiciness is as desired.
In the raita already some onions, tomatoes, carrots are there, So I haven't added any toppings for the uttapam except some chopped spring onions. Any other vegetables one can opt here.
