Lentils / Legumes are the best source of protein for vegan / vegetarian diet. Being the highest source of protein, I definitely include every single day  diet.

Sometimes in the breakfast or snack or part of the main meal. We are so much used in having lentils in our daily life that, we get an empty feel with a meal that doesn’t have a lentil based dish in it. 

I have already included many recipes with lentils / legumes in my blog. Link⇒  Lentil Based Recipes from my blog

Fermenting the batter: There is no need for fermentation, but its fine even if you do. After grinding the soaked lentils, transfer into a wide bowl. Leave the bowl on kitchen platform for about 6 to 8 hrs. Or else use an Instant Pot Yogurt Mode for fermentation.

Using ghee: Adding a tablespoon of ghee instead of oil, while making the uthappam tastes even great with that fresh aroma.

Prepare Dosa Batter:

Cooking:

Tips:

• You can even soak the lentils overnight (7-8 hrs) and grind them in the morning to use them immediately.
• Be careful, with the batter consistency, it shouldn’t be too watery nor too thick.
• After pouring the batter on the griddle don’t try to spread it throughout the griddle/pan, like we do it for regular dosa.
• Let the uthappam be on the pan until the edges turn crispier.
• Storage: This batter can be stored in the refrigerator up to a week, and can be used for making uthappam / pancakes, instantly. 

Result:
