Ingredients
For the Uttapam Batter
- 5 slices Bread white bread recommended, crusts removed
- 1/2 cup Semolina also known as rava
- 2 tbsp All-Purpose Flour also known as maida
- 1/2 cup Yogurt plain yogurt
- 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1/2 tsp Cumin Seeds
- 1 cup Water as needed for desired batter consistency
For the Uttapam Toppings
- 1/4 cup Onion finely chopped
- 1/4 cup Tomato finely chopped
- 1/4 cup Carrot finely chopped
- 1/4 cup Bell Peppers finely chopped (any color)
Other
- 2 tbsp Oil or as needed for cooking
Instructions
Prepare the Batter
- Cut the bread into small pieces. In a blender, combine the bread pieces, semolina, all-purpose flour, yogurt, salt, and cumin seeds. Add water gradually while blending until you achieve a smooth, slightly thick batter. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter.
Combine Batter and Toppings
- Transfer the batter to a bowl. Add the chopped onion, tomato, carrot, and bell pepper. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
Cook the Uttapam
- Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the hot pan, spreading it into a thin, round pancake.
Add Oil and Cook
- Drizzle a little oil around the edges of the uttapam. Let it cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the edges are set and the bottom is lightly browned. Flip the uttapam and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
Serve and Enjoy
- Serve the hot bread uttapam immediately with your favorite chutney (coconut chutney or green chutney are great options!), tomato ketchup, or sambar.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Bread Uttapam
- For a crispier uttapam, use a well-seasoned cast iron griddle.
- Adjust the amount of water in the batter to achieve your desired consistency. It shouldn't be too thick or too thin.
- Feel free to experiment with other vegetables! Mushrooms, spinach, or zucchini would be delicious additions.
- If the batter seems too thick, add a tablespoon of water at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
