Instant Rava Uttapam and Blackberry Smoothie-A pillowy soft, mildly spicy and tasty instant rava aka semolina uttapam topped with tomatoes, coriander, and green chilies and served with healthy and tasty blackberry smoothie.
The instant rava uttapam is my favorite breakfast ever, I mean literally, I can eat this every day without any complaints. Frankly speaking, I have never tried the classic uttapam with idli dosa batter as I always make it with rava.
So when everyone is at school and office and I am back home dropping the girls, I make myself a tall glass of any fruit smoothie and some instant rava uttapam and have a satisfying breakfast.
This was my breakfast yesterday and I also made a coconut coriander chutney to go with the uttapam. Rava uttapam tastes amazing when topped with some chopped tomato, onions and coriander leaves but as I did not have any onions on hand so I skipped adding.
Recently my girls also started liking the uttapam but with lesser vegetables. It is a totally easy and filling breakfast dish that can also be served as lunch or light mid-morning meal.
Whenever Mr. H sees some recipes on the website that he doesn’t know about he calls me from office asking when did I made that and why he hasn’t got chance to taste it etc. So I always reply him that I knew you would not like it that’s why I made it in the morning and finished too.
Recently I went to a brands and bloggers conference at Dublin where I got to meet so many food bloggers in Ireland and also get connected to local Irish brands too. One of the brands was Homespun and they are making quinoa crunch with lots of added goji berry, coconut flakes, buckwheat groats.
We got some samples from the brands and this quinoa crunch has become my favorite toppings on smoothies.
Let’s take a recap of the previous recipes of this marathon.

So far i have tried only instant rava dosa, not uttapam. It sounds simple and delicious, Sapana. And the black berry smoothie is really catchy and sounds healthy. Perfect for breakfast !!!
Instant rava uthappam looks fabulous and that gorgeous smoothie is just breath taking, both makes a super filling breakfast definitely.
That is a nice hearty breakfast. The rava uthappam looks absolutely delicious and the smoothie with all those crunchy toppings looks so inviting..
I love uthappam in all its variety and these ones look just as yumm. My eyes are glued to the smoothie this time around. Fantastic blend of ingredients.
I’ve nevertheless tried instant uttappam with rava Sapana. I will have to try it because I’m too lazy to grind the batter and this instant one will be just perfect. My husband also finds out what I cooked after reading the blog – he’s traveling most of the time, so missing 60-70% of what I cook.
I am the other way round, I always make uttapam with leftover idli dosa batter. With rava its always the crispy rava dosa. This is a great idea to make uttapam. Glad you went to the conference. I love conferences for networking and knowing the local brands.
Have never tried rava uthappam but rava dosa is my favorite and next time and sure going to try this out!!
This is a fantastic combo Sapana, the pictures look so inviting..instant versions are always such a boon!
Blackberry smoothie with crunchy quinoa topping, so yummy. Can’t wait to get to Montreal this year to have my berries smoothies.I’ve not tried rava uttapams as yet, always use the normal rice dal batter. I will try the instant one soon as both hubby and I love uttapams.
That is a fantastic platter sapana, uthaapam looks very colorful and that smoothie is so refreshing ! Fresh, healthy and hearty platter!!
Those uthappams look so good Sapana. MY stash of dosa batter is over and I will be making this for breakfast tomorrow. The berry smoothie looks super inviting. Love the color!
The rava uttapam looks super delicious and that blackberry smoothie is just so yum! I hve couple of blackberry bushes in my backyard and I can’t wait for them to start producing. Love the color of the smoothie and the quinoa crunch sounds very interesting.
Uttapam is perfect choice for breakfast in my home.. your dish looks so colorful and tasty.
