dosa recipes are prepared quite frequently in my house and i try different variations of it. mixed veg uttapam recipe is one such recipe which i prepare with any left over vegetables. however, i try to add finely chopped onions always and i think onions are a must in any uttapam recipe. moreover, i even prepare uttapam with both dosa batter and leftover idli batter. when preparing with dosa batter, i add rava or semolina depending upon the consistency of dosa batter to make it thick.
furthermore, some important tips for a perfect uttapam recipe. i have prepared the batter with a 3:1 ratio of rice and urad dal. i have used normal sona masuri rice, however, you can use any idli rice or dosa rice. i do not recommend to use basmati rice for this recipe. secondly, i have added finely chopped green chillies as a topping, skip this if you do not like it or serving it to kids. lastly, if you are using an idli batter then make sure the batter is bit thin but comparatively thicker to dosa batter.
