Mini Veg Uthappam

Next item on my list with Dosa batter is Uthappam. Usually Uthappam is famous with Onions and Tomatoes.





Rather than making Onion and Tomato Uthappam all the time, I add Broccoli, Carrot, Mushroom and baby Corn to make it more interesting and healthy for kids.

 
Preparation   

After spreading Dosa batter on the pan, cover it up with lid for sometime.





Add a coat of Chutney and then, add a layer of vegetables. Add oil/Ghee and cook on both sides and serve it hot...sorry, serve it warm for kids ;-).






You can try with other vegetables as per your kid's choice. As Uthappam is bit heavy, try mini uttappams or if it is big, cut it with Pizza cutter.

Make it more fun for kids...you can even try smiley faces. btw, my daughter took an extra step of cutting the vegetables and decorating the Uthappam.




I can't leave this post without a link to Broccoli's health benefits. Do add Broccoli (if you get it) to your diet.
