Vegetable Oothappam

 
Ingredients:

For Dosa
Raw rice - 2cups
Urad dal - 3/4 cup
Cooked Rice - 3tbsp
Fenugreek  - 1tsp

Method:

Soak the rice , urad dal  and fenugreek overnight(5-6 hrs).Grind them with cooked rice and little water.Dosa batter should be fairly thick.Cover it and keep it aside until the batter ferments.

For vegetable oothappam

Required vegetables (Grated carrot ,chopped tomato,onion and coriander leaves)

Method:

Heat dosa tava and drop a big spoon of water.Spread it around,make sure it is little thicker than dosa.Sprinkle generously with the chopped veggies and let it cook.This has to done as soon as the dosa batter is spread and when it is still liquid and not cooked.That helps the veggies to stick to the batter.Flip to cook the other side.Serve with chutney or sambar.

    Dear Sreelekha
    What a coincidence, believe me after a long time I am going to make Uthapam,(demand from younger daughter) fermentation is over and I am cutting vegetables.Ha ha
    But I have taken 1 dal and 3 rice. I am so confused over the dal to rice ratio. I have recipes starting from 1:2 1:2.5 and 1:3, yours is 2.7 :-).
    What is the function of adding cooked rice? I will do it next time for sure.
    Have a nice weekend

Kumbilappam/Vazhanayila Appam/Chakka Appam/Steamed Jackfruit Dumplings

Kumbilappam made with Vazhanayila  Kumbilappam is another authentic dish from Kerala.The main ingredient of this recipe is Chakka pazham(Jackfruit). Jackfruit, jaggery ,rice flour and some fresh coconut are mixed together to prepare the dough. It is then wrapped in Vazhanayila (this aromatic leaf gives a special flavour to the appam) in Kumbil(Cone) shape. That's why the name kumbilappam! The flavour of jackfruit and aroma of the leaves together gives a great taste to this dish. Here goes my mom-in-law's recipe for kumbilappam. Ingredients:  Ripe Jackfruit Bulbs(chopped finely)  - 2cups Jaggery(scraped) - 1 cup(adjust according to your taste) Freshly grated coconut - 1cup Rice flour (roasted) - 2cups. Cardmom (powdered) - 1/2tsp(optional ) Vazhana Ela or Banana leaves - as required. Method: 1 Melt jaggery in 1/2 cup of water.Remove the impurities. 2 Make a smooth paste of jackfruit pieces without adding any water. 3.In a big bowl add jackfruit paste,jaggery syrup and coconut.M
