Uttappam Pizza

The popular South Indian breakfast snack gets a makeover cooked like a pizza.

Top ways to prepare: Uttapam Pizza is often baked or grilled until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the Uttapam base turn golden brown..

Cooking Tips: 1. Ensure that the uttapam batter is of the right consistency—neither too thick nor too thin. It should be pourable but not watery. 2. Use a colorful mix of vegetables for toppings. Bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, olives, and corn work well. This not only adds flavor but also enhances the visual appeal. 3. Instead of traditional pizza sauce, spread a thin layer of tangy tomato chutney on the uttapam for a South Indian twist. 4. Opt for mozzarella or cheddar cheese for a gooey and flavorful topping. You can also experiment with other cheese varieties for added depth. 5. Cook the uttapam on a low to medium heat to ensure that it cooks through without burning. This allows the toppings to cook and the cheese to melt properly. 6. If you're using a pan, cover it with a lid while cooking to ensure that the toppings cook through and the cheese melts evenly. 7. Sprinkle fresh herbs like basil or cilantro on top just before serving. This adds a burst of freshness to the uttapam pizza. 8. Give your uttapam pizza a classic pizza flavor by sprinkling red chili flakes and dried oregano on top. 9. When serving, slice the uttapam pizza into wedges or squares for a unique and appealing presentation. 10. Accompany your uttapam pizza with a side of mint chutney or coconut or garlic chutney to balance the flavors. 11.Feel free to experiment with different toppings, sauces, and cheeses based on your preferences. You can even add a touch of your favorite spices to enhance the flavor..
