How to make Rava Uttapam:
1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add 1 cup Sooji, 1/2 cup yogurt, and 1/2 cup water. Mix and let rest for 20 minutes.
2. After 20 minutes, the batter has had time to absorb the liquid and you may need to add in a little more water to get the right consistency. The batter should have a medium consistency, not too thick or thin.
3. Using a mortar and pestle, grind 1/2 inch sliced ginger and 1-2 chopped serrano peppers together until coarse paste forms.
4. Add the ginger and pepper paste to the uttapam batter along with 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp cumin seeds, 1/2 cup shredded carrots, 1/4 cup chopped onions, and 2 Tbps chopped cilantro. Mix everything together.

PRO TIP: Feel free to add in any other veggies you enjoy!

5. Next, add in 1/2 tsp baking soda and mix again.
6. In a large frying pan on medium heat, add 1 Tbsp oil/ghee. Spoon about 1/3 cup of the uttapam batter into the pan.
7. Cook until they are golden brown on each side (about 2-3 minutes).
8. Remove from the pan and serve with a side of SWAD Coconut Chutney. Enjoy!
