Uttapam, a beloved South Indian delicacy, is a thick pancake-like dish made from a batter of fermented rice and lentils. Unlike its counterpart, dosa, Uttapam is denser and typically includes toppings such as onions, tomatoes, green chilies, and cilantro, which are incorporated into the batter before cooking. The batter is poured onto a hot griddle and cooked until golden brown, resulting in a soft yet slightly crispy texture. The savory aroma of the cooking Uttapam fills the air, promising a flavorful and satisfying culinary experience.
