Healthy Oats Uttapam

Uttapam is a common South Indian breakfast recipe. Usually, it is a thick pancake made with fermented lentils and rice batter, and veggies topped on it. These are mostly served with Sambhar, coconut chutney, Tomato onion chutney, Kara chutney, Peanut chutney, Podi, etc.

Apart from traditional Uttapam, there are many other variations of Uttapam like Instant Rava Uttapam, Ragi Uttapam, Oats Uttapam and many more can be made.

I personally prefer Oats Uttapam with lots of veggies on it. It is the healthiest choice of Uttapam. As oats are full of nutrients so I always try to include this superfood to my daily diet in different ways. Oats Uttapam recipe is one of them.

Tips:

  1. You can use just Onion, Tomato, Ginger and Coriander for topping. Other vegetables are optional.
  2. Batter consistency matters a lot. It should be perfect to make perfect Uttapam. It should not be thin and should not be very thick too. For that, you have to keep in mind that while adding water add little bit at a time. Mix and then add more if required.
  3. Use non-stick pan if possible. Otherwise, grease the pan with oil well to prevent the sticking of uttapam.
