Frequently Asked Questions

Expand All:

Why do we soak flattened rice?

Soaking softens it, helping it blend well into the batter, making the uttapam soft and fluffy.

Can I skip curd?

Curd adds tanginess and helps fermentation. If skipping, add a little lemon juice or buttermilk instead.

Why is my uttapam not cooking evenly?

Ensure the tawa is well-heated before pouring the batter. Cooking on medium heat gives even browning.

Can I add more veggies?

Absolutely! You can add capsicum, tomatoes, or even grated beetroot for added flavor and color.

How to store leftover batter?

Refrigerate for up to a day. If it thickens, add a little water before using.
