Ultimate Food with Utmost Taste: Uttappam

Idli, dosa, or uttappam are typically served for breakfast in Tamilnadu, along with sambar and chutney. Uttappam is a type of South Indian dosa. It is in fact a thicker dosa that is filled with toppings as opposed to a typical dosa, which is thin and crepe-like. It is made from a batter of rice and lentils to which a little fenugreek is added. The batter is left to ferment overnight, making it a little sour.

The name is a mix of the Tamil terms for poured-appam. Uttappam is made in a flat skillet, whereas Appam is made in a pan with a round bottom. Ancient Tamil literature specifically mentions it by name. Uttappams are savoury pancakes covered with vegetables and have crispy golden rims and a pillowy soft interior. In India, nutritious uttappam is typically eaten for breakfast, but it also functions well as a quick and filling dinner.

Uttappams freeze well, making them a great meal to prepare ahead of time or a tasty midday snack. When topped with the vegetables of your choosing and served with chutney, it is a delicious method to provide your children a nutritious diet that is high in proteins, vitamins, and carbohydrates. Vegetable Uttappam and Oats Uttappam are the two varieties of uttappam. If you want to reduce the amount of calories and fat in your diet, plain uttappam is the finest option.

The following are more uttappam varieties:

Masala Uttappam: Mixture of vegetables, such as onions, tomatoes, green bell peppers, green chilies, and cilantro, used as toppings.

Onion Uttappam: Just a few finely chopped onions, chilies, and cilantro are added to the top of onion uttappam.

There are numerous health advantages to using uttappam. Uttappam, is nutritious, delectable, gluten-free, and is simple to convert to veganism. The same potent anti-inflammatory antioxidants, flavonoids and flavonals, that are present in tea, fruits, grapes, red wine, and cocoa beans are also present in lentils, making them an ideal way to add protein, fiber, and all the benefits of antioxidants to any meal.
