Indian Rice Pancakes | (ಉತ್ತಪ್ಪ – Uttappa)

0 comments

Visually similar to a pizza, uttapam is a South Indian dish consisting of a batter (based on rice and lentils) that is fried and topped with chopped vegetables such as onions, tomatoes, carrots, chiles, and corn. There is also a version of the dish called mini uttapam, usually served in four pieces per portion, with variable toppings and a number of side dishes.

Traditionally, uttapam is accompanied by sambhar on the side – a rich lentil curry with the addition of onions, coconut, and eggplant.
