i am a huge fan of crisp dosa and i generally prefer a crisp and roasted masala dosa for my breakfast. yet i end up making different types of dosa with soft and thick dosa variations. and uttapam is one such frequently made dosa options. the main reason to meet my husband’s requirement. he likes to have soft and thick dosa, similar to set dosa. apparently he developed this taste, while he was living in bangalore. as a matter of fact, the idea of mixed veggie uttapa, comes from him and he likes to experiment with uttapa toppings. in this, i have experimented with capsicum, carrots, beans but not limited to it. i would recommend using those veggies which can be easily cooked on a dosa pan without much effort.
anyway, before i conclude the post, i would like to highlight some tips, suggestions and variation to vegetable uttapam recipe. firstly, the batter is key for this recipe and it has to be coarse and thick compared to the traditional thin dosa batter. otherwise, you may not be able to get the desired thickness and also the topping may not hold. secondly, the vegetable toppings have to be finely chopped so that it does cook properly when added as a topping. also, it would be easy to arrange finely chopped veggies. lastly, the dish tastes great when served warm or served immediately. do not serve leftover or rested one, or try to preheat before serving it.
