Instructions

1. Prepare the topping:

   • Mix chopped tomatoes, onion, green chilies, and coriander leaves in a small bowl.

2. Heat the pan:

   • Warm a non-stick tawa or skillet over medium heat. Grease lightly with oil.

3. Cook the uthappam:

   • Pour a ladle of batter onto the tawa and spread into a thick circle (not too thin).

   • Evenly sprinkle the tomato mixture on top.

   • Drizzle a little oil or ghee around the edges.

   • Cover and cook for 3–4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.

   • Flip carefully and cook the other side for 2–3 minutes.

4. Serve hot:

   • Best served with coconut chutney and sambar.

Tips:

• For extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of black pepper or chili powder on top of the tomatoes.

• Add grated cheese for a fusion version.

• Thick batter works best; thin batter makes the uthappam floppy.
