Vegetable Uttapam

Uttapams are popular South Indian breakfast recipe which are similar but slightly thicker than regular dosas. Uttapams can be made of variety of toppings like tomato, mix veggies, coconut etc. It can be served with sambar and variety of chutneys. You can make it with left over idli dosa batter. Veg Uttapams can be made with vegetables like carrot, onion, capsicum. I personally like to make uttapams and dosas on a regular basis as these are healthy, easy on stomach and nutritious.
