A traditional South Indian dish that combines the softness of a pancake with the flavours of fresh vegetables and aromatic spices.

About The Dish

“Uttapam is a popular South Indian dish made from fermented rice and urad dal batter. Unlike a thin crispy dosa, Uttapam is thicker, softer and topped with colourful vegetables that add texture and flavour.

COOKING PROCESS

How To Prepare Uttapam

Follow these traditional steps to prepare soft, fluffy Uttapam topped with fresh vegetables and authentic South Indian flavours.

Step 1: Prepare the Batter

Soak rice and urad dal separately for a few hours. Grind them into a smooth batter and allow it to ferment overnight for a soft and fluffy texture.

Step 2: Prepare the Toppings

Finely chop onions, tomatoes, coriander leaves and green chillies. Keep the vegetables ready for topping the Uttapam.

Step 3: Cook the Uttapam

Heat a tawa and pour a portion of fermented batter. Spread it slightly thick and evenly, then add the prepared vegetable toppings on top.

Step 4: Cook Until Golden

Drizzle some oil around the edges and cook on medium heat until the Uttapam becomes soft inside with a lightly golden and crispy surface.

Step 5: Serve Hot

Serve freshly prepared Uttapam with coconut chutney, tomato chutney and hot Sambhar for an authentic South Indian experience.
