Semolina PanCakes (Rawa Uttappam)

      This is instantly made breakfast and loved by all. It doesn't require any prior preparation and is very tasty like all other pancakes. It is a savory pancake made mostly in the south of India. I make it as we all love it  and mainly, cause it's instant and means less work ! !


Semolina and yogurt batter

Ingredients:


Semolina (Rawa/ Suji)..............................................1/2 cup

PlainYogurt (Dahi/ Doi).............................................1/2 cup

Refined Oil......................................................................as Required

Salt...................................................................................as per taste

Onion (Peyaj).................................................................1,medium size

Tomato............................................................................1,medium size

Ginger (Ada)..................................................................1 inch Piece

Green Chilly( Kaacha Lonka ).....................................4

Fresh Coriander Leaves............................................... 4-5 tbsp






This is how I do it.....


 Roast the semolina lightly and remove to a large Mixing Bowl. 

Finely Chop all the other ingredients and keep ready.


Make a batter by mixing  the roasted semolina and yogurt . Do not use  sweetened yogurt. Misti doi is not used for this breakfast dish.
The consistency of the batter should be that of a pancake batter. It should not be too thick or too thin but should be easy to spread on the non-stick griddle or non-stick pan. Mix salt as per taste.
Let the batter stand for at least 20 minutes before using it to make pan cakes.

Heat a non-stick griddle or a non-stick pan and pour a ladleful of batter and spread in a circular motion to make a round shaped Uttapam. Top with  the finely chopped onion-ginger-tomato-green chilly-fresh coriander mix. Spread it evenly on all sides. 
You can also add to the batter but it will make the batter heavy and if you are a first timer you will find it very difficult to handle. Now , other than these, you can also add grated carrots, sprouts  and mashed green peas. It makes delicious Uttapam. 

You can make large size Uttapam's or small ones.

Spread the batter and then add oil with a  tbsp.

Cover the Uttapam with a lid and cook on low heat on one side.  









Then carefully flip to the other side.Cook the other side in the same manner.

Prepare all Uttapams in the same manner and serve hot with coconut chutney or sambar dal or both. 








Note : Children who have Breakfast on a daily basis score higher on full scale, 
verbal and performace IQ tests, a study has claimed. University of Pennsylvania school of Nursing Researchers found that children who did not eat breakfast regularly had 5.58 points lower verbal, 2.50 points lower performance, and 4.6 points lower total IQ scores than children who ate breakfast.
