How to Prepare

Prepare the batter by grinding the soaked rice and urad dal with fenugreek seeds into a smooth paste. Add salt and let it ferment for 8-10 hours.
Heat the dosa tawa on medium flame and lightly grease it with oil.
Pour a ladleful of batter onto the tawa and spread it slightly thicker than a regular dosa.
Sprinkle finely chopped onions, tomatoes, green chilies, and coriander leaves on top.
Drizzle a teaspoon of oil around the edges and cook until the bottom turns golden brown.
Flip the oothappam and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side.
Remove from the tawa and serve hot with chutney and sambar.
