Thai Uttapam

Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse the urad dal thoroughly and soak it in water for about 4 hours.

   Drain the water and grind the urad dal into a smooth batter using a blender. Add water as needed to achieve a thick, pourable consistency.

3. 3

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice flour with the urad dal batter. Mix well to form a smooth batter. Add water if necessary to achieve a pancake-like consistency.

   Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with sesame oil.

6. 6

   Pour a ladleful of batter onto the skillet and spread it gently to form a thick pancake.

7. 7

   Sprinkle shredded carrots, chopped green onions, chopped cilantro, and bean sprouts evenly over the top of the batter.

8. 8

   Drizzle a little sesame oil around the edges of the uttapam and cook until the bottom is golden brown and the top is set.

9. 9

   Flip the uttapam carefully and cook the other side until golden brown.

    Remove from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
