Notes

Tips-
  1. Addition of refined flour/maida is optional but it helps in holding the batter and easy cooking but you can also substitute it with rice flour or wheat flour.
  2. Eno makes the uttapam soft and fluffy.
  3. Chili flakes can be substituted with freshly ground pepper.
  4. Instead of using curd you can also use slightly sour butter milk.
  5. Quantity of water depends on the quality of rava so add water accordingly,it will absorb water after soaking,so the final batter should be of medium thickness to spread it easily,don't make a thin batter.
