Tips:

  • The most important thing in this recipe is ratio of Rice, Curd and Rava i.e. 1 : 0.25 : 0.50 (1: 1/4: 1/2).
  • Make sure to soak the batter well, else the Uttapam will be hard.
  • Top with the vegetables of your choice to make it more healthy.
  • Instant Leftover Rice Uttapam tastes great, when served hot with peanut chutney or coconut chutney.
