Now to the paste add ginger, salt, curd and curry leaves and red chilli powderi, grated carrot and green chillies and mix well, so that no lumps are found. Consistency of the paste should not be too thick or thin. It should be like dosa batter.
Now heat the flat bottomed pan and apply some oil to it, now as oil gets heated, sprinkle some water and as they pop up, immediately spread the batter like dosa but not so thin, it should be a thick layer, now add chopped onions, tomatoes and coriander leaves on the top, let it get cooked, spread some oil in the sides of spreaded batter, and at center, now as the batter gets cooked slowly slowly, with a thin spatula try to remove the already cooked uttapam slowly so that it does'nt break.
