uttapam
Sign in to saveAlso known as uthapam, uttappam
An uttapam, uthappam, oothappam, uthapam, utapam or uttappam is a type of dosa from South India. Unlike a typical dosa, which is crisp and crepe-like, an uttapam is thicker, with toppings. The name is derived from the Tamil words appam and utthia or uttria, meaning "poured appam", because appam is cooked in a round-bottom pan, whereas utthia-appam is cooked on a flat skillet. Tamil ancient literature mentions it by name. The classic breakfast of Tamil residents consists of idli, dosas or uttappams mostly accompanied by sambar and chutney.

It is similar to a dosa, but it has more vegetables and a longer preparation time.
