Following are the steps, Ingredients, and methods to make delicious and yummy Uttapam for yourself and your loved ones at the ease of home.Ingredients
To make Uttapam, you will need the following ingredients: To prepare Uttapam:- Gather 2 cups of rice (raw or idli rice or a mix), 1 cup of urad dal (split black gram), 1/4 teaspoon of fenugreek seeds, salt to taste, and oil for frying.
- Use chopped onion, tomato, green chili, and coriander leaves for toppings.

Method
Follow these steps to make uttapam at home:- Wash and soak the rice, urad dal, and fenugreek seeds in separate bowls for 4 to 5 hours.
- Drain the water and grind the rice, urad dal, and fenugreek seeds separately in a blender or mixer, adding water as needed to make a smooth paste.
- Put the batter into a big bowl and sprinkle salt. Stir it nicely and leave it to ferment in a warm spot for 5 to 6 hours or overnight. The batter should be thicker than the dosa batter but a tad thinner than the idli batter.
- Heat a cast iron or non-stick tawa over medium flame. Grease it lightly with oil using a halved potato or onion.
- Pour a ladleful of batter on the tawa and spread it gently in a circular motion to make a thick pancake. Sprinkle chopped onion, tomato, green chilli, and coriander leaves on top. Press them lightly with a spatula. Drizzle some oil around the edges and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown.
- Flip the Uttapam carefully and cook the other side for a minute or until the vegetables are slightly cooked. Transfer to a plate and serve hot with chutney, sambar, podi, or pickle. Repeat with the remaining batter and toppings.
