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.

Bread Uttapam

Ingredients

  • 3 slice white bread
  • 3 tbsp sooji coarse samolina
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour maida, plain flour
  • 1/4 cup yogurt curd, dahai
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp cumin seeds jeera
  • 1/4 cup bell pepper, finely chopped capsicum
  • 1/4 cup tomatoes finely chopped remove the seeds
  • 1 green chili finely chopped
  • 2 tsp ginger shredded adrak
  • 2 tbsp cilantro finely chopped hara dhania
  • 2 tbsp oil to cook

Instructions

  • Remove the crest from bread and cut them in small pieces.
  • In a blender add bread, sooji, all-purpose flour, salt, yogurt, and water, and blend to a thick and smooth paste.
  • Take out the batter in a bowl and add the remaining ingredients, cumin seeds, bell pepper, tomatoes, ginger, green chili, and cilantro, mix it well. Batter should be thick in consistency add more water if needed, batter should not be too thick but should not be runny.
  • Heat the skillet over medium heat and lightly grease the skillet. Pour about 2 tablespoons of batter and spread consistency should be of thick pancake.
  • Pour little oil around uttapam. Let it cook for about 2 minutes and turn them over, bread uttapam should be golden brown from both sides and this should take about four minutes. Notes: do not cook on high heat, uttapam will not cook through.

Notes

Serve bread uttapam with your choice of chutney, I like to serve with coconut chutney or green cilantro chutney.

    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!

    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

      Sandhya
      June 25, 2016 at 7:03 pm

      Sooji coarse is nothing but sooji used for halwa. Bell pepper is capsicum. Cilantro is coriander leaves (Dhandia patha)

      Shruti
      November 4, 2016 at 6:51 am

      Soooji is semolina
      Bell pepper is capsicum or shim last mirth
      CILANTRO is dhaniya or coriander

    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

    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..

    The name of the dish is “Uthappa” and not “uthappam”. Atleast that is what we have called it since childhood.

      Padma Rani
      March 3, 2015 at 2:20 am

      Utthapa is in Kannada and Uthappam is in Telugu.

      March 1, 2015 at 5:04 am

      Use soya milk with juice of one lime to get the taste of non dairy yoghurt. I do it all the time.

    priyanka
    February 28, 2015 at 2:47 pm

    Was it medium sooji used? Since there are many types of sooji can you please tell which exact sooji was used in this recipe.

    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.
