Rava Uttapam or Instant Suji Uttapam is a quick and simpler version of the traditional uttapam. Traditional uttapam prepared by dosa or idli batter which requires planning. Soaking, grinding, and fermentation usually takes a day.

Whenever I am running a sort of time and need to prepare a lighter meal, I choose this recipe. All you need to soak Rava in curd or buttermilk for 15 – 30 min. Even you can use lemon juice in place of curd. If your uttapam is not turning soft and spongy, you can add a pinch of cooking soda or eno.

You can prepare plain uttapam with this batter or topping it with onion, chili, and vegetables of your choice. Grate some cheese for kids. Black pepper powder, roasted jeera powder or Maharashtrian style kanda lasun masala can be used to enhance the flavor.
