Ingredients:

• 1 cup dosa batter

• 1 small beetroot, grated

• 1 small onion, finely chopped

• 1 small tomato, finely chopped

• 2-3 green chilies, finely chopped

• A handful of fresh coriander leaves, chopped

• Salt to taste

• Oil for cooking

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Batter: If you don't have dosa batter on hand, you can prepare it by soaking rice and urad dal overnight and grinding them into a smooth paste. Allow it to ferment for at least 8 hours.

2. Grate the Beetroot: Wash, peel, and grate the beetroot. Set it aside.

3. Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the dosa batter with the grated beetroot, chopped onions, tomatoes, green chilies, and coriander leaves. Add salt to taste and mix well.

4. Heat the Pan: Heat a non-stick tawa or griddle over medium heat. Grease it lightly with oil.

5. Pour the Batter: Pour a ladleful of the batter onto the tawa and spread it out evenly in a circular motion to form a thick uttapam.

6. Cook the Uttapam: Drizzle a little oil around the edges and cook until the bottom is golden brown and crisp. Flip the uttapam and cook the other side until done.

7. Serve Hot: Serve your vibrant beetroot uttapam hot with coconut chutney, sambar, or your favorite side dish.

Health Benefits:

• Beetroot: Rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, beetroot helps in improving blood circulation and boosting stamina.
