Wash and soak the ragi, idli rice, urad dal, and fenugreek seeds separately in water for at least 5-6 hours.
Drain the water and grind the ingredients together in a mixer or grinder, adding water little by little, until you get a smooth batter.
Transfer the batter to a large bowl, add salt, and mix well.
Cover the bowl and allow the batter to ferment overnight or for at least 8 hours.
Preparing the Topping:
In a mixing bowl, combine the grated beetroot, grated carrot, chopped green chillies, and fresh coriander leaves. Add a pinch of salt and mix well. Set aside.
Making the Ragi Uttapam:
Heat a non-stick tawa or griddle on medium flame.
Once hot, pour a ladleful of the fermented batter onto the tawa and spread it gently to form a circular shape.
Sprinkle a generous amount of the beetroot and carrot mixture evenly over the uttapam.
Drizzle a little oil or ghee around the edges and let it cook for 2-3 minutes or until the bottom turns golden brown.
Flip the uttapam carefully and cook the other side for another 2 minutes.
Remove from the tawa and serve hot.
