rava uttapam recipe, how to make quick sooji uttapam recipe

rava uttapam recipe with step by step photos – easy and quick uttapams made with rava or sooji or cream of wheat.

ever since i first made these quick uttapams, i have made them quite a number of times later. these jhatpat uttapams have a lot of pluses.

• first very good to taste. the number one factor that should be there in any recipe.
• quick to make.
• on cooling down, they still remain soft. so good for tiffin box snack.
• no grinding.
• no fermentation.
• just a soaking period of 30 minutes for the rava.

for making these uttapams, you will need fine sooji or rava. most such recipes which do not require fermentation, use yogurt or buttermilk. however, i have used lemon juice and i feel the lemon juice ones taste better than the uttapams made with yogurt. baking soda is essential in the recipe. if you do not have baking soda, then you could use fruit salt (eno) too.

these uttapams can be made plain or topped with onions, tomatoes or mixed grated veggies. i have shown both the plain as well as onion-tomato version in the stepwise pics. with the recipe you can even make mini uttapams. the recipe can be doubled or tripled too.
