Ragi Uttapam aka Finger millet pancakes

This was made for breakfast this morning. I have made Ragi dosa and Ragi roti many times before for breakfast and every time i try something different with it. Finger-millet or ragi powder is nutritious or so they say and i love that it can be made quickly and lends itself pretty nicely to pretty much anything i add to it!  

Here's how i made today's version:

Mix together 3 parts ragi powder + 1 part rice powder + 1 part curd + 1 tsp Red chili powder + 2 tsp Cumin seeds + 1/2 Cup Kasuri Methi + Salt to taste + Water

Let it stand for 10 minutes.

The consistency of the dough should be a little thicker than dosa batter.

Pour over a hot tava, sprinkle finely chopped onions, pour 1 tsp oil around the uttapam, reduce the flame, cover and cook for a few minutes. Turn over and cook for a minute or two.

(The sweetness of the onions really brought out the flavor of the kasuri methi and made the uttapam yummier. I made the first few without the onions but preferred the ones with onions.)

Serve hot with coconut chutney or tomato curry. I like it most with hot and sweet tomato curry but today we had it with tomato chutney.

Hope you try it! It's quick and easy and doesn't require any preparation or grinding.
