Bread Uttapam, South Indian Snack

Bread Uttapam

Uttapam is a popular South Indian dish. Traditionally uttapam is made with rice and lentil batter, which can be a long process. Bread Uttapam, on the other hand, is instant and easy to make. Not to mention it tastes delicious. Uttapam is a thick dosa, or pancake, with vegetables cooked over skillet. It tastes divine served hot and with a side of coconut chutney.

  1. Excellent and easy, really delicious. I used some wheat bread that had gone stale, turned out great. I added some mustard seeds and chopped onion to the batter. Thanks again, Manjulaji!

  2. Hi… Thank you Manjula ji… Main kabhi kabhi cook karne ka koshish karta hun…yeh kaafi aasaan tha and tasty bhi… best part is i didn’t have to involve my wife to help and liked it too 🙂

  3. Hi manjula garu,
    I want to make this for my visiting family of 13 people. Can i make this an hour or two in advance, heat up in the oven and serve it?

  4. Hello, Madam. Nice recipe. I couldn’t understand some of the ingredients. Can you please explain what are they called in Marathi ? (or in Hindi)

    Sooji coarse (semolina)
    Bell pepper
    Cilantro

  5. Hi Manjula I love your recipes. I did a variant of this uthappam by cutting wheat bread slices into 4 pieces and dipping them in slightly sour idli batter which was seasoned with vegs as you mentioned. This was also very tasty and we can avoid using maida

  6. this is very easy recipe and quick to make but we should keep in mind that lentil batter is much more healthier than bread and all purpose flour batter…once in a while it is ok but not to replace this with our authentic dosa batter..

  7. hi, i really enjoy your cooking and they always turn out amazing, i just wanted to know if i can make the batter for the bread uttapam at night and freeze it to use in the morning?

  8. Hello Aunty,

    Just need a clarification for Bread Uttapam recipe it is written as 1/4 tablespoons of yougurt. Where as in video it says 1/4 cup of yougurt. Can you plz clarify whether its1/4cup or 1/4 tablespoon.

    Thanks
    Navi

  9. I couldn’t make them exactly according to your recipe, as I didn’t have all the ingredients. BUT they were still amazing – the vegetables and spices worked so well. I used finely shredded, salted and squeezed zucchini instead of capsicum. Thanks so much for sharing this.

  10. Hi Manjula ji…thank u for this awesome recipe…I have ques when i tried making these uttapams they turned out to be very soft n upon turning they break into pieces.. Pls let me know how to rectify the problem…also the taste turns out to be very good…thank u so much…
