Quinoa Uttapam with Leeks and Cherry Tomatoes

image

Not only am I sneaking vegetables in this super loaded uttapam recipe but also my infamous new friend “Quinoa”. This way we get good vegetable and grain intake!

I replaced the usual onion with leeks, so the flavour wasn’t compromised but enhanced and the juicy cherry tomato added a certain buzzy tang! Yummmm!
I used a packet mix for the batter, which makes this dish even more simple to make. One for my top ten for children’s favourite meals.

Hope all of you are having a stress free day! Do try these out and let me know…until the next time…Much love, D x
