Ingredients

• 2 cups Dosa batter
• 1 cup Sweet corn kernels (boiled or canned)
• 1 small Onion (finely chopped)
• 1 small Tomato (finely chopped)
• 1 small Green chili (finely chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves (finely chopped)
• 0.5 cup Grated carrot
• 2 tablespoons Oil (for greasing and cooking)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt (optional, for vegetables)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, mix the sweet corn kernels, chopped onion, tomato, green chili, coriander leaves, and grated carrot. Add salt if desired, and toss to combine. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick or cast-iron skillet on medium heat and lightly grease it with a few drops of oil.

Step 3

Stir the dosa batter well and pour a ladleful onto the skillet. Spread it gently in a circular motion to form a thick pancake, approximately 6-7 inches in diameter.

Step 4

While the batter is still wet on top, evenly spread about 2-3 tablespoons of the vegetable and corn mixture over it. Press the mixture gently onto the batter so it sticks.

Step 5

Drizzle a few drops of oil around the edges of the uttapam and cook for 2-3 minutes on medium heat, or until the underside turns golden and crispy.

Step 6

Carefully flip the uttapam using a spatula and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are lightly cooked and the uttapam is fully cooked through.

Step 7

Remove the uttapam from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining batter and vegetable mixture.

Step 8

Serve hot with coconut chutney, sambar, or tomato chutney for a delicious meal.
