Rinse the rice and urad dal separately in water. Soak them separately in enough water for at least 4 hours. Add fenugreek seeds to the urad dal while soaking.
Drain the rice and urad dal. Add the urad dal and fenugreek seeds to a blender with half a cup of water and blend to a smooth batter.
Grind the rice separately with half a cup of water to a slightly coarse texture and then mix it with the urad dal batter.
Add salt to the mixture and mix well. Cover and let the batter ferment overnight or for 8-12 hours in a warm place.
Chop the carrot, tomato, capsicum, onion, and green chili finely. Set aside the vegetables in a bowl.
Once the batter is fermented, stir it gently. It should have a slightly thick yet pouring consistency.
Heat a non-stick pan or a cast iron skillet over medium heat and grease it lightly with a little oil.
Pour a ladleful of batter onto the pan and spread it gently to form a thick pancake (about 6 inches in diameter).
Sprinkle a handful of chopped vegetables evenly over the top of the batter. Press them lightly with a spatula.
Drizzle a little oil around the edges. Cook the uttapam on medium heat for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown.
Flip the uttapam and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes until done.
Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining batter and vegetables.
Serve the soy-free mix veg uttapam hot with coconut chutney or sambar.
