Plain Uttapam is a traditional South Indian pancake known for its soft, thick texture and simplicity. Made from a fermented batter of rice and urad dal (black gram dal), Uttapam is cooked on a hot griddle until golden-brown. Unlike its masala counterparts, Plain Uttapam does not include any specific toppings or fillings. It showcases the natural flavors of the dosa batter itself, which is spread thickly on the griddle to achieve its characteristic texture. Served hot, Plain Uttapam offers a crispy exterior and a soft, fluffy interior, making it a comforting choice for breakfast or as a snack. It is traditionally accompanied by coconut chutney and sambar on the side. The coconut chutney provides a sweet and nutty contrast, while the sambar offers a tangy and spicy flavor, complementing the simplicity of the Plain Uttapam.
