Uttapam is a South Indian breakfast staple with a thick, soft base and endless toppings. Made with a fermented rice-lentil batter, you can add fresh ingredients and spices to create different flavour profiles to start your day.
Chopped onions and green chillies are on top. This is the classic one; this savoury is slightly sweet and spicy.
Fresh tomato slices add a juicy tang to the uttapam, enhancing its taste with acidity and vibrant red colour.
A mix of onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, and carrots adds crunch and nutrition, making it a wholesome choice.
Grated cheese melts over the uttapam for a twist, creating a creamy layer that makes it extra appealing to kids and cheese lovers.
Crumbled paneer offers a soft, rich texture and mild flavour, packed with protein and perfect for a filling breakfast.
Layered with a spiced potato mixture similar to dosa’s masala, this variant has a satisfying, mildly spiced filling.
Fresh spinach leaves add colour and a mild earthy flavour, boosting the dish with vitamins and minerals for a healthy start.
