Uttapam recipe
Uttapam are South Indian Breakfast pancakes made with lentils, rice, onions, herbs & spices. These are a very common breakfast in south Indian homes and are mostly eaten with a chutney, sambar or podi. Traditionally uttapam were 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.

To make uttapam, lentils, rice, poha or methi seeds are soaked first. Then ground to batter and fermented overnight. This batter is used to make uttapam.

These are topped with different veggies like onions, tomatoes, carrots, green chilies & coriander leaves.

Uttapam are crisp on the bottom with soft fluffy texture on top. The slightly roasted veggies compliment them with a nice aroma.

Many times I make different kinds of uttapam as a quick fix to our meal.

Preparation for uttapam recipe

The consistency of the batter must be same as that of dosa. You can take some batter to a bowl and add water to bring it to the consistency. The batter must be thick yet of pourable consistency. Taste the batter and add a bit more salt if needed.

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.

Add a few drops of oil and grease your tawa well. If using a cast iron pan, then heat it first and then add a few drops of oil. Spread the oil all over with a kitchen tissue.

How to make uttapam

When the pan is hot enough, pour a ladle full of batter in the center of the pan. At this stage the pan has to be hot otherwise the batter won't rise and the uttapams will be flat.

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.

Lower the flame.

Sprinkle toppings as desired. Add oil around the edges and allow to cook on a low to medium flame until the base cooks well and firms up.

Sprinkle little oil over the onions and flip it.

Cook until the onions are done. The color of the uthappam depends on the temperature of the batter & the pan. Usually batter straight away from fridge does not yield golden uthappam.

Make sure it is cooked well from inside. If you like caramelized onions, you may cook longer. Transfer to a serving plate and serve uttapam with chutney or Tiffin sambar. You can also sprinkle podi and enjoy. I use Idli podi, Andhra peanut powder or curry leaves podi.

Tips to make fluffy uttapam

Here are the general tips for all or any kind of uttapams.

. Bring the uttapam batter to consistency by adding water as needed. The batter must be thick yet of pouring consistency. Too thin batter will make your uttapams flat and not fluffy. Too thick batter will not cook the uttapams from inside.

Grease the pan well if using a pan other than regular non-stick. If using cast iron pan it is always good to grease immediately after a wash. Then rinse back before using and then grease again. Rubbing a sliced onion also helps in preventing the batter from sticking.

Onions, chilies & coriander leaves are the most common topping for uttapam. However you can also use carrots, tomatoes and bell peppers. You can also just skip all of these and just use some idli podi or peanut podi.
Cooking: I prefer to cook any kind of uttapams on both the sides as it ensures the uttapam is cooked well inside.

Uttapam is a South Indian breakfast made with fermented lentil & rice batter. These pancakes are known as uttapam. They can be made with different toppings. Uttapam are served with chutney, pickle or podi.

NOTES

• Ensure the pan is hot enough before you pour the batter otherwise the uttapam will be flat and won't puff.
• Cook on a low to medium flame so the batter is cooked from inside.
• Chop the veggies only when you are ready to make the uttapams.
• You may skip poha but they give the uttapams the characteristic fluffy texture.
