Uttapam

Tomato Uttapam is a savory South Indian pancake known for its soft, thick texture and the tangy flavor of tomatoes. Made from a batter of fermented rice and urad dal (black gram dal), Uttapam is cooked on a hot griddle with a generous layer of finely chopped tomatoes. The tomatoes are embedded into the thick batter as it cooks, imparting a juicy and slightly tangy taste throughout the Uttapam. Served hot, it features a crispy exterior and a soft, flavorful interior, making it a delightful choice for breakfast or as a snack. Tomato Uttapam is traditionally accompanied by coconut chutney and sambar on the side. The coconut chutney adds a sweet and nutty contrast, while the sambar provides a tangy and spicy flavor, complementing the tomato-infused Uttapam perfectly.
