For preparing aata uppuma, first make a dough with Aatta mixing with cumin seeds, salt and water. Keep it aside.
Make medium sized balls of the dough.
Take some water in the idly maker, apply some oil(gingelly/coconut/refined oil) in the idly plate with some cotton or brush and keep the balls in the idly plate as shown above.
Close the idly maker and cook the balls well in steam for about 15 minutes.
When the aatta balls are cooked well, take it out and allow to cool. Cut the aatta balls into small pieces as shown below.
Heat oil in a fry pan, put mustard seeds and let the mustard burst. Add chopped onion and curry leaves. Saute well and allow to turn the mix into golden colour.
Mix the coriander and chilly powder with the fried mustard, onion and curry leaves.
Add the aatta pieces with the above items and mix it well. Serve the hot uppuma with hot coffee/tea or soup.

Myself, Sobha Kesavan, a retired Accountant in a MNC based in Delhi, where I was staying for 26 years. Afterwards, moved to Bangalore and stayed there for about 4 years and then shifted to my native place ( in Thrissur district), Kerala, along with my husband. My two sons and both daughters-in-law are working out of Kerala as Software Engineers.
I have immense passion for gardening and have been doing it since my stay in Delhi and most of
the ingredients (vegetables) used in my recipes are home grown. I am interested in cooking mostly North Indian and South Indian cuisines. The recipes shared in pachakam.com from my end would definitely tickle your taste buds.
I will be always looking forward for your valuable feedbacks or suggestions as there is always room for improvement.
