Mixed Vegetables Oothappam
A Kerala breakfast classic with its characteristic soft, fluffy middle and paper-thin, crispy edges. The fermented batter gives it a gentle sourness that balances rich curries.

To the grated vegetables add some salt and mix it well (and if necessary add some red chilli powder also) and set aside.
Step 5
Heat the tawa and apply some oil on it.
Step 6
Put some rice batter in it and spread it in round shape as shown in the below picture.(make sure that the batter is spreading little thick and not thin as doing for making dosa).
Step 7
Then put the vegetables mix on the oothappam as shown in the below picture.
Step 8
Apply 1- 2 tsp oil / ghee above the mix and press it well with ladle and then allow the oothappam to cook, including vegetables, in steam.

After 2 - 3 minutes, turn it over and apply some oil / ghee on the other side of the oothappam.
Step 10
Get it out and keep it in a casserole to keep it hot.
Step 11
This oothappam can be served with coconut / onion chutney/ sambar or pickle.
Tip
The swirling motion takes practice. Your first two appams will likely be imperfect — consider them warm-up rounds.
