Uttapam
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Uttapam is a dosa-like dish that is made by cooking ingredients in a batter. The batter is made of a 1:3 ratio of urad dal and rice (1:1 ratio of boiled to non-boiled rice) that has been fermented. Instead of making it like a crispy crepe, uttapam is thick and not filled, with ingredients cooked right into the batter. Uttapam is usually made with tomatoes or an onion-chilli mix; other common ingredient choices are coconut or mixed vegetables. Uttapam is sometimes called an Indian pizza or pancake.
Today, Uttappam instant mixes are available in the market. A small portion of this is mixed with water to form a fermented batter. This is then spread evenly on a cooking pan. It takes about 5 minutes to cook.
The uttapam is a very healthy dish. 1 medium-sized uttapam contains only 180 calories. It can be eaten with sambar or chutney.
