uttapam recipe – A South Indian breakfast food that is similar to the dosa but made thick like pancake with different toppings. Usually onions, tomatoes, carrots, green chilies, coriander leaves are used for topping. Uthappam is crisp on the bottom with soft and fluffy top & slightly roasted veggies.
Traditionally uttapam is made with slightly sour batter that is left over after making dosa on the previous days. The vegetable toppings balance the sourness of the batter and tastes good. It is served with chutney or sambar.

1. Uttapam is mostly made with leftover batter from the previous days, so I am not giving the step by step instructions on how to make the batter. We are using the left over or ready slightly sour batter. However you can also make with fresh fermented batter. The consistency of the batter must be same as that of dosa. You can add water to bring it to the consistency.
2. Keep the veggies ready for topping. You can use onions, deseeded firm and ripe tomatoes, grated carrots, chopped green chili and coriander leaves. Please note that using tomatoes may make the uttapam more sour. In the step by step pics i have not used tomatoes. What you see in the first picture was made sometime ago when the batter was not sour. Add very little salt to the topping and mix.
3. Grease your tawa well.
4. When it is hot enough, pour a ladle full of batter on the hot pan.
5. Do not spread the batter too much, uthappam has to be made thick. If the batter doesn’t spread on its own, then you may lightly spread a bit.
6. Lower the flame, add the toppings evenly.
7. Add oil around the edges and allow to cook on a low flame until the base cooks well and firms up.
8. Sprinkle little oil over the onions and flip it.
9. Cook until the onions are done. The color of the uthappam depends on the ratio of ingredients used for batter & the temperature of the batter. Usually batter straight away from fridge does not yield golden uthappam.
10. Make sure it is cooked well from inside.
Serve with chutney or tiffin sambar.
You can also sprinkle podi and enjoy. I used flax seed powder.
