Creating Uttapam South Indian recipes

 Creating Uttapam is a delicious and simple adventure! Here's how:

Ingredients:

- 1 cup dosa batter (can be homemade or store-bought)

- 1 small onion, finely chopped

- 1 small tomato, finely chopped

- 1 green chili, finely chopped (optional)

- A few curry leaves, chopped

- 1/4 cup finely chopped coriander leaves

- Salt to taste

- Oil for cooking

Steps:

Prepare the Batter:

 If you're using store-bought dosa batter, ensure it's at room temperature. Add a little water if it's too thick to achieve a pancake batter consistency.

Prepare the Toppings: 

Mix the chopped onion, tomato, green chili, curry leaves, and coriander leaves in a bowl. You can add a pinch of salt to this mixture if you like.

Heat the Pan: 

Heat a non-stick pan or griddle on medium-high heat and lightly grease it with oil.

Pour the Batter: 

Pour a ladleful of batter onto the center of the pan. Spread it slightly, but not as thin as a dosa. It should be thicker like a pancake.

Add Toppings: 

Sprinkle the vegetable mixture evenly over the batter while it's still wet. Press down lightly with a spatula so they stick.

Cook: 

Drizzle a little oil around the edges of the uttapam. Cook until the bottom turns golden brown and crispy. Flip the uttapam and cook the other side until the vegetables are cooked and slightly caramelized.

Serve: 

Remove from the pan and serve hot with coconut chutney, sambar, or your favorite chutney.
