About Sandwich Uthappam

At home, when we prepare dosa batter, for the first few days the batter is used to prepare idli and regular dosa. After that, when the dough becomes a little sour, we use it to make uthappam or kuzhi paniyaram. This slightly sour batter results in a soft and spongy uthappam every time.

The uthappam sandwich is a fun, kid-friendly take on the classic South Indian breakfast. Instead of the usual plain or filled uthappam, this version is prepared like a sandwich with a tasty and crunchy filling inside. This makes the meal more interesting and satisfying.

One night at dinner, my husband decided to try something different from the usual. He poured a thick uthappam batter on the pan, added a simple topping like onion, tomato, bell pepper and finished with Italian seasonings and cheese. The kids really loved this cheese and uthappam sandwich.

This idea inspired me to try a few more variations at home. In this recipe, I spread green chutney, pav bhaji masala with vegetables to make a delicious desi style sandwich. It turned out really tasty and looked like a nice change from regular uthappam.

I also shared another version called masala uthappam sandwich which is inspired by the classic South Indian masala dosa. These two versions are very easy to make and add a fun touch to everyday recipes.

Ingredients

• Batter’s sin: Dosa batter is the main base of the recipe. Use a slightly sour and thick batter to make uthappam. For a healthier version, you can swap it with homemade millet dosa batter.
• Butter : Butter is added for its rich taste and flavor. It helps to cook the uthappam until it is tender and golden brown.
• Onion : The onion adds a slight crunch and slight sweetness when cooked. This makes the sandwich tastier.
• Tomato : The tomato adds a juicy taste and a slightly tangy flavor. It balances the overall flavors and keeps the topping flavorful.
• Bell pepper : The pepper, like the onion, adds a slight crunch and fresh flavor. You can also add tricolor bell pepper to make it colorful and vibrant.
• Pav bhaji masala or garam masala: I used pav bhaji masala to add aroma and flavor to the filling. It gives the taste of the classic street sandwich and makes it more delicious. You can also swap with garam masala for aroma.
• Green chutney: Green chutney used as a spread to make the sandwich slightly spicy and adds a fresh taste to the filling. It balances the overall flavor and makes the uthappam taste like a desi sandwich.

FAQs

Q. Can I use fresh dough instead of fermented dough?

Yes, you can use fresh dough. However, the slightly sour batter is still the best for making uthappam. This helps achieve the soft, spongy texture.

Q. Can I add vegetables to the topping?

Of course ! You can customize the filling with your favorite vegetables like potato, carrot, paneer or even with chicken. Adding these vegetables makes the uthappam more nutritious, filling and tasty.

Q. Why does my uthappam break when turning it over?

This usually happens if the dough is too thin or the filling is added too soon. To avoid this, add the filling only once the base is partially cooked and gently press the filling so that it sticks well before turning it over.
