Instructions

1. Prep the vegetables:

3. Cook the uthappam:

   • Pour ½ cup batter onto the tawa and gently spread into a thick circle.

   • Sprinkle the vegetable mixture evenly on top.

   • Drizzle a little oil or ghee around the edges.

4. Serve immediately:

   • Serve hot with coconut chutney or sambar.

Quick Tips:

• Don’t make the uthappam too thin; a thick base holds the veggies better.

• You can also add grated cheese or chopped coriander + curry leaves for extra flavor.
