- Take the dosa batter in a bowl and add water to get the desired consistency.
- Heat a non-stick tawa and grease it with oil. When the tawa becomes hot, pour one ladleful of batter and spread it in circular motion, not making the uttapam too thin.
- When tiny holes appear on the surface of the uttapam, add the chopped vegetables. Drizzle oil around the edges and at the center.
- Reduce the flame to medium. Cover and cook on medium flame for a few seconds. By this time the veggies would have cooked. Gently press it with the back of a spatula.
- Flip the uttapam to the other side and cook on medium flame for 2-3 minutes.
- Transfer to a serving plate. Serve with coconut chutney and sambar.
