For Serving With Moong Dal Uttapam

For the batter
- Soak the dal for at least 2 to 3 hours and drain well.
- Combine the soaked dal, curds, green chillies and ¼ cup of water and blend in a mixer to a smooth paste.
- Add the salt, asafoetida, besan and baking powder and mix gently. Keep aside.
For the green peas topping
- Heat the oil in a non-stick pan and add the cumin seeds.
- When the seeds crackle, add the green peas, salt and green chillies, mix well and cook on a medium flame for 1 to 2 minutes, while stirring continuously.
- Add the dried mango powder and coriander and cook on a medium flame for 1 to 2 minutes, while stirring occasionally. Keep aside.
How to proceed
- To make moong dal uttapam heat a greased non-stick tava (griddle) and grease it using a little oil.
- Pour a spoonful of the batter on the tava (griddle) and spread in a circular motion to make a 100 mm. (4”) diameter circle. We poured 3 spoonfuls of batter on the tava at one time.
- Spread a little stuffing on it and press it gently.
- Cook on a slow flame for 1 to 2 minutes
- Turn it upside down and cook again for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Repeat with the remaining mixture and stuffing to make 6 more uttapams.
- Serve moong dal uttapam hot with green chutney and sweet chutney.
