Instant Rava Mix Veg Uttapam is a very healthy south indian breakfast. Uttapam is usually made with lentils and rice flour after fermentation which takes lots of time. But this is an instant version of uttapam which is made from semolina or suji.

I like to add lots of veggies to my uttapam, you can make it with any number of veggies that you like. You can make onion uttapam, coconut uttapam, carrot and beetroot uttapam etc the same way. Even add cheese for kids if you like.

This is a very simple recipe, yet amazingly tasty and healthy. Uttapam makes a complete breakfast which is full of essential vitamins, minerals from veggies, proteins from curd, carbohydrates from semolina and fats from oil. Use coconut oil for more healthier version. Start your morning with this yummy uttapam and enjoyeee.
