For the batter
 ½ cup Raw Rice
 ½ cup Boiled Rice
 ¼ cup Urad Dhal
 1 tsp Bengal Gram
 1 tsp Methi or Fenugreek Seeds
Ingredients for the uthappam
 2 Medium Sized Onions
 2 tbsp Idli Podi
 2 tbsp Peanut Podi (Optional)
 1 tsp Coriander Leaves
 2 tbsp Gingely Oil
 2 tsp Red Chilli Flakes
Step 1 :
1

First, let us prepare the dosa batter. Soak the measured quantities of boiled rice, raw rice,Bengal gram and urad dhal together in a vessel with two glasses of water with a tea spoon of fenugreek seeds in it.

2

Let it soak for 2-3 hours.

3

After three hours, put it in a grinder and grind nicely.

4

Add the required amount of salt and let it ferment for a few hours or overnight.

5

If you already have common idli dosa batter at home, you can also use that to make this podi uthappam.

Step 2 :
6

Heat a cast iron tava (thick bottomed) and smear a little oil over it.

7

Wipe the 'dosakal' (dosa tava in tamil) with a sliced onion in order to make it smooth.

8

Let the dosakal be in high flame.

9

Once it is heated, take a ladle (karandi in tamil) full of batter and spread it over the tava in a circular shape.

10

Let it be thick as it is the nature of the uthappam to be slightly thicker and fluffy.

11

Now spread a spoon of idli podi and a tea spoon of peanut powder over the uthappam and sprinkle finely chopped onion and coriander leaves over it.

12

Pour a little oil around the uthappam and simmer the flame and close it with a lid.

13

Let it cook for 2-3 minutes.

14

After two minutes, just flip to the other side and cook it well.

15

Now the podi uthappam is ready to eat.

16

Serve it hot with coconut chutney or a little ghee.
