Uttapam

Description

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, and chiles. 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.
