Uttapam
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- 1/4 cup finely chopped yellow or red bell pepper
- 1 teaspoon chaat masala, optional
- Salt to taste
- 2 tablespoons corn, grapeseed, or other neutral oil, or more as needed
- 1/2 recipe dosa batter (preceding recipe; leftover dough keeps in the refrigerator for a couple days; let it come to room temperature before cooking)
- Stir together the red onion, cilantro, bell pepper, chaat masala if youre using it, and salt in a small bowl, taste, add more salt or chaat masala if necessary, and set aside.
- Preheat a nonstick or cast-iron griddle over medium heat for a full minute before greasing it with a film of oil.
- Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the griddle.
- Uttapam are usually 5- or 6-inch pancakes 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick; if the batter is particularly thick or cold, you may need to spread it with the back of a spoon (or the measuring cup) to those dimensions.
- After a minute or so, scatter the top of the pancake with a couple tablespoons of the onion-cilantro-pepper mix.
- When the bottom starts to color and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes later, flip the pancake and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes, until the second side is crisped and colored.
- Serve hot.
