For Rava Uttapam

1. Take Rava in a bowl, add beaten curd, Salt, and water and mix it well. Let it sit for around 10-15 minutes for the Rava to absorb the water. If needed, add a splash of water; the batter should have consistency.
2. Heat a pan and drizzle some oil.
3. Let it cook for a minute. You'll see some bubbles on top. Put the toppings on it and drizzle some oil on top. Cover with a lid for 3-4 minutes. Keep the flame low.
4. Next, flip the Uttapam, and cook the other side for a minute or until it turns brown. Your Uttapam is ready! Please repeat the same procedure with the rest of the batter to make more Uttapam for your family.

For chutney

1. Heat a pan. Add oil and let it heat. 
2. Then add mustard seeds, urad dal, chana dal, curry leaves, and dry red chilies; You can even go ahead and add Satvic Foods' Indian Sambhar Masala to it. Saute for a minute or two.
3. Now add tomatoes, stir them well, cover the lid and let it cook. Please keep stirring it every once in a while.
4. You'll know it's cooked when the tomatoes turn soft and mushy.
