Beetroot Uthapam

Beetroot Uthapam - This is a healthy dish which is very easy to make. Beetroot is very good for health and it has high amount of vitamins and minerals. It helps improve haemoglobin in blood also. But some kids fuss about eating it. This is one way of including this wonderful vegetable in their diet. You can call this as 'Pink dosa' ;-)

I learnt this from my mother in law. She makes it with carrot and that also has a very good taste and nice color.

Ingredients:

1. Beetroot- 1 medium sized
2. Dosa batter - 1 kg
3. Big onion - 2 medium sized
4. Green chilli - 1

Method:

1. Chop beetroot, big onion, green chilli and whip them well two times in mixie to get a coarse paste. Do not add water and grind to smooth paste. Just whip them twice to coarse bits.

2. Mix this with the dosa batter. Heat dosa pan, and spread 1 ladle of batter lightly like a uthapam and drizzle oil on sides. Once cooked (approx after 2 mins), flip to other side and keep in low flame for 4 to 5 mins.

 

Serve hot with chutney!!

Notes:

1. Make sure the uthapam is cooked well. As the uthapam contains veggies it takes sometime to cook.
2. Flip the uthapam only after it is cooked well, otherwise it will tear.
3. Serve preferably with pudina chutney or any spicy chutney.
4. You can make the same with carrot.
5. You can make mini uthapams also.
