Rava uttapam | Rava uthappam | Sooji uthappam recipe
Rava uttapam or rava uthappam is an instant breakfast recipe prepared with fine rava, curd, and choice of vegetables. Learn with a video and stepwise pictures.
Always use fine variety rava and mild sour curd for making this rava uttapam.
You can consider this rava uthappam as an instant breakfast except for the soaking time. Although we add curd,l the softness of the uttapam is coming from the soaking. Hence give minimum an hour of soaking time to get soft appams.
I have already posted the Crispy rava dosa recipe in my blog which is another popular rava breakfast.

Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups rava
- ¾ cup curd
- 1 cup water approx.
- ½ tsp salt
- Few tsp of oil to cook
- 1 tbsp rice flour
- 1 tsp oil
Vegetables used:
- 1 big onion
- 2 green chillies
- ½ cup coriander leaves
- ¼ cup curry leaves
- ½ cup tomato
Instructions
Preparation:
- Chop onions, tomatoes, green chillies and coriander leaves.
- Beat curd and keep it ready.
Recipe to make Rava uthappam:
- To begin with, take rava in a mixing bowl with curd.
- Add required salt and pour water gradually to prepare a thick uthappam batter. Mix well to remove the lumps.
- Keep this batter aside for the rava to soak for an hour.
- After an hour, you can see the rava becomes soft and thick.
- Now mix all the finely chopped vegetables and add little water if required to adjust the consistency.
- As optional ingredients, I add a teaspoon of rice flour and a teaspoon of oil. Rice flour gives mild crispness over the edges of the rava uthappam.
How to cook the rava uttapam:
- Before cooking the uthappam, season the tawa with few drops of oil and a slice of big onion as shown to get proper uthappam. If you are using a non-stick pan then skip the above step and proceed with the next step.
- Pour a ladle full of batter and do not spread.
- Drizzle oil around the corners and cook the bottom for around three minutes in low medium flame.
- As we add curd for soaking, the uthappam would be very delicate. Therefore handle it carefully.
- Flip gently and drizzle oil if cooking in an iron tawa and cook for two minutes.
- You can press gently to cook evenly.
- Remove from the pan and serve hot with idli Podi or spicy tomato chutney or onion chutney.
- This instant rava uttapam tastes great with tiffin sambar also.

Tips:
1) Firstly do not skip the soaking of rava in curd otherwise you cannot flip the uthappam.
2) Next thing is to get the correct consistency of the batter. Neither thick like Vada batter nor thin like rava dosa batter.
3) Customize the choice of veggies used. In addition to that, always use finely chopped vegetables.
4) Finally, the addition of rice flour and oil is to give crispy edges. Skip these if you like perfectly soft uthappam.
5) Last but not the least, every time before pouring the batter stir well so that the heavy veggies wont sit at the bottom of the vessel.
