Bread Uttapam

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.

  • 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.

Notes

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

  12. Umesh

    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

    1. Sandhya

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

    2. Shruti

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

  16. Nithya

    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

    1. Manjula Jain

      Nithya, Thank you for sharing, it is always more fun to make the changes to your taste.

      1. Deepak Datta

        Very nice racipe

    1. Kanchanamala

      Manila,I love yours recipe

    2. Nithya

      Sangavi, I did the same dish using slightly sour idli batter instead of maida. Came out very well.

    3. Garima

    I love your recipes , very easy to prepare dishes and usually i cooked in my restro and cafeteria also
    Great anks of yours

  23. Neesha Desai

    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..

  24. hope

    what kind of belnder are you using in this video?

    1. Manjula Jain

      Hope I am using Magic Bullet, but you can use any blender that will work.

  25. Regina DSOUZA

  31. Navpreet Kaur

    Hello Aunty,
    Thank you for sharing such yummy n easy to make recipes.
    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

    1. Manjula Jain

      Navpreet Kaur, thank you, yogurt should be 1/4 cup. I fixed the mistake.

  32. AV

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

    1. Padma Rani

      Utthapa is in Kannada and Uthappam is in Telugu.

    2. V

      Uttapam is also Tamil

  33. r

    may substitute the yogurt with another nondairy elements. can i use coconut milk instead of water?

  34. zainab sayed

    Nice and easy it sounds.can I substitute it with brown bread?

  35. b s aujla

    great

  36. Hadar

    It looks yummy! what can I use instead of yogurt that isn’t from milk.

    1. Renu

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

  37. priyanka

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

    Thank you

  38. Ashta

    Can we use wheat bread?

  39. Sandra

    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.
