Rest the Batter

Allow the batter to rest for 20 minutes. This helps the rava to soak well.

Prepare Toppings

In a separate bowl, combine the finely chopped onion, beans, carrot, capsicum, coriander, and ¼ tsp salt. Mix well to ensure the toppings are evenly seasoned.

Cook the Uttapam

Heat a non-stick pan and pour a ladleful of poha batter to form a small Uttapam. Top each uttapam with a tablespoon of the prepared vegetable mixture and press gently. Sprinkle chili flakes and pour 1 tsp of oil around the uttapam. Cover and cook for about a minute or until the base is cooked well. Flip and cook the other side until golden.
