Soak rice, methi and dal separately for at least 2 hours. Grind them just like for dosa with mild texture. Set aside for fermentation for 6-8 hours. Add salt as per your taste.

Heat a tawa on medium flame. Apply 1/2 tsp oil and spread it on the tawa. Reduce the flame to low after the tawa is hot.

Add a cup of batter to the centre of the tawa. Spread it slightly, it should not be very thin like a dosa. Add half a tsp of oil around it and cover it and cook for 2 mins. The top of the uttappam should become dry.

Apply a layer of 🍕 tomato sauce. Spread some capsicum, onion and olives on the uttappam. Add shredded cheese liberally. Add all the seasonings on the uttappam.

Cover it and cook it for 5 minutes on low flame. The cheese should start melting.
