Moong Sprouts Uttapam
Hubby dear loves sprouts, so I have started using it a lot more in our diet. Hubby have it raw. But I don't like to eat it raw, so I make sambar with it or add it to salad. Ah there is an awesome salad which features this sprouts, which I will post soon. Couple of weeks back I thought to make something with this sprouts and ended up in this uttapam. Since I didn't add any rice into this, this will be so spongy and soft.

About Sprouts Uttapam
Sprouted green gram, also known as mung beans or moong, is a rich source of fibre and is fat-free. Due to high fibre content, they are filling and extremely healthy. Some of the sprouted green gram benefits include improving eyesight, enhancing bone and heart health as well as enhancing the immune system.

A dosa is a thin (usually crispy) South Indian flat bread made from a fermented batter primarily composed of lentils and rice. Rice and black gram are the main ingredients, which are ground together in a fine, smooth batter with a dash of salt and fermented.
Sprouts Uttapam Ingredients
Sprouts - you can use moong sprouts for this uttapam. Instead of moong sprouts, you can use other sprouts as well.
Onion - Onion adds crunchy texture, you can use shallots as well.
Spices - I used dry red chillies and cumin seeds for flavouring the batter.
Green chillies - green chilli adds flavour and spicy to the uttapam. You can skip green chillies in this a swell.
Coriander leaves - mainly for flavour, you can add a bunch of fresh coriander leaves for taste.
Optional - If you prefer crispy uttapam. You can add some rice flour or gram flour in the recipe.
