an anyone tell me what is the dish they make in the photo here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Indian_Panckace.jpg ?

It is made with the same mixture as the dosa, but is a bit different. Could it be Utapam? The picture was taken in a street in Varanasi

Answer 8

This is south Indian dish called Uttapam

Below is the method to cook it....Hopefully this info will help you out. Good luck...have fun....:)

Ingredients

1 Tomato

1 small Onion

1 bunch of fresh Coriander leaves

Little broken Cashewnut or Putna or both

1 or 2 Green Chillies

Method:

Put them all in a small chopper and cut them very fine.

In a cup of batter, mix all of it and add little salt.

Put your non-stick pan or tawa on burner and heat it up to medium heat. Use a serving spoon to spread the batter thick, spread a tsp of oil on sides (optional) and cover the pan for a while. Fire should be between medium and low. When it is ready (light brown) remove the lid and turn the Uttapam with the help of a spatula. Let it bake for a while without the lid now. Turn it once more and keep it for less than a minute to make it crisp. Eat with or without coconut chutney.

Batter is made up of 1 portion of urad dal and 3 portions of rice. One half of the rice is boiled rice and other half is kolam or basmati or any rice other than boiled rice.

(Boiled rice is not cooked rice but a variety of rice.) Rice and dal are washed separately and left overnight to soak well and after grinding them very fine separately, they are mixed well and left to ferment in a warm place for 12 to 18 hours. This batter is then ready for use and can be stored in the fridge upto 4 days. 1st day, one can make good idlis out of it and next day it is ready for making dosa or Uttapam.
