Simple Breakfast Sooji Utthapam


This is a traditional Konkani breakfast specialty. It's easy to make, and reminds me so much of home!

Serves 2 people

Sooji (semolina), 2 cups
1 onion, chopped
1 green chilli, chopped roughly
cilantro, 8 strands chopped
yogurt, 3 tbsp
water, as needed

In a bowl, combine sooji, onion, chilli, cilantro and yogurt. Add 1/4 cup of water and mix to form a smooth batter. Add more water as needed. The batter should be thicker than dosa consistency, but not too runny. Add salt and cover and keep for 1/2 hour. In this time, sooji will fluf a little. Check consistency and add some more water if needed. Grease a flat pan and spread batter to make a thickish dosa. Cover with a round lid while cooking. Utthapam takes about 3-4 minutes to cook on both sides.

Mekhy I just made this for lunch! It was so delicious. I cannot believe it had only 5 ingredients. I ate 3 utthapams! Haha
