Soak the rice for 6 hours, and soak the urad dal and fenugreek seeds in a separate bowl for 4 hours.
Grind the soaked rice and dal separately with a little water until smooth.
Mix the batters with salt and ferment for 8 hours.
Finely chop the onions, green peppers, and cilantro.
Heat a pan over medium heat and spread one ladle of batter into a thick circle.
Sprinkle the onion mixture over the top and drizzle a little oil around the edges.
Cook the thick pancake in a covered pan for 3 minutes, flip it, and brown for 2 more minutes.
Serve the hot pancakes with chutney and sambar.
💡 Tip: Keeping the batter spread thick gives uttapam a soft center and lightly crisp edges.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve for breakfast with coconut chutney, sambar, and hot filter coffee.
