Can Waffles be Savory? Yes, they can and guess what they taste super delicious with some spicy chutney or a dip. I usually prefer some kind of hot breakfast in the morning. When I woke up this morning, I wanted to have Vegetable Uthappam. I had some Dosa batter in the refrigerator. All of a sudden, while taking out the pan for making the uthappams; my eyes went on the Waffle maker sitting next to the pan. I thought why not make some savory Waffle Uthappams. So here, it is my version of a Savory Waffle Uthappam that taste so delicious and I am sure it will become a part of every family’s regular breakfast menu. So what are you waiting for ?  Lets get started !!

Ingredients: Serves 2
2 cups Dosa Batter
2 tablespoon finely chopped onions
2 tablespoon grated carrots
2 tablespoon finely chopped green bellpeppers / capsicums
1 teaspoon finely chopped coriander leaves
1 green chilli finely minced (add more or less as per taste)
½ teaspoon Idli-Dosa Chutney powder/ Milagai Podi (optional)
¼ teaspoon turmeric powder
Salt as per taste
Water to adjust the consistency

Method:
1. Take the Dosa batter in a bowl. Add the chopped vegetables, coriander, chilli, chutney powder, turmeric and salt. Mix well. If batter is thick, add 1 or 2 teaspoon of water to adjust the consistency.

2. Pre-heat the Waffle maker according to your brand instructions.
3. When ready, spray some non-stick coconut oil on both the sides of the waffle maker.

4. Pour 1 cup of prepared Uthappam batter on the waffle maker.
5. Close the lid and set it to the desired setting. I like my waffles to have some color but not very crispy so I set it to level 3 as per my waffle instructions. It takes about 5 minutes for the waffle to get ready with crispy edges and still soft like a Uthappam from center.

6. When ready, serve hot with a chutney or dip of your choice. Enjoy !!

Notes:

1. You can use your own recipe for making Dosa batter or even use store bought.
2. Any other choice of vegetables can also be used.
