Uttapam| Uthappam| Oothappam| Uthappa is  a thick pan cake made with thick dosa batter. Unlike the normal crispy thin dosa this is spongy and soft. This is a famous traditional South Indian breakfast or dinner. Mostly ordered item in vegetarian restaurants.

There are many variations in Uttapam depends on the base and the toppings. Here i have shared the normal traditional uttapam with various vegetable toppings. I have already shared Pizza dosa, a variant of Uttapam with added cheese and veggies. You could add the topping for the utappam of your choice of vegetables.

PROCEDURE:

  • Drizzle half a teaspoon of oil at the top and sides. Now the dosa starts to form holes on top.
  • Add the sliced veggies or topping of your choice. If you like the dosa to be spicy add some cut green chillies.
  • Once the base of the dosa becomes golden flip the dosa carefully and cook the otherside of the dosa for a minute or two.
