Step 1
Soak rice in six cups and urad dal in four cups of water separately overnight.
Step 2
Drain and grind them separately, using a little water, to a smooth paste. Mix them in a deep vessel.
Step 3
Cover and keep the batter to ferment for a minimum of six to eight hours in a warm place. Take required quantity of batter in a bowl, add salt and sufficient water to get the desired consistency and mix well. In a large bowl combine red, green, and yellow capsicums along with onion, jalapeno peppers, fresh coriander and salt.
Step 4
Toss to mix well and keep aside. Heat a thick tawa (griddle) or a non-stick pan. Put two drops of oil and wipe the tawa clean with a wet muslin cloth.
Step 5
Add a tablespoon of butter to the tawa and pour half a ladleful of batter and spread it into a five inch round. Sprinkle the capsicum mixture generously over the utappa and cook on low heat for three to five minutes.
Step 6
Flip side and cook further if desired. Similarly prepare the remaining utappas. Serve hot with coconut chutney.
