Quick-Cook Masala Utthapam
Introduction
I’m always up for a stack of breakfast pancakes, and these moreish savoury South Indian utthapam, topped with chilli, tomato, onion and coriander are no exception. Traditionally you’d make the batter with rice and lentils and ferment it overnight, but this quick version with semolina is increasingly popular in India as you can put it together without the lengthy rise. Double the recipe if you’re cooking for more than two people.
Ingredients
| For the utthapam: | |
| semolina | |
| yogurt | |
| water | |
| ginger, grated | |
| sea salt flakes | |
| neutral or olive oil, for frying | |
| For the topping: | |
| green chillies, finely chopped | |
| red onion, finely chopped | |
| cherry tomatoes, quartered | |
| fresh coriander, finely chopped |
