Paneer Uttapam Recipe is a delicious, nutritious, and wholesome breakfast recipe. Soft and savory uttapam/pancakes topped up with grated paneer, vegetables like carrots, onion, tomatoes, freshly chopped chilies, and coriander.

I usually make uttapam from leftover idli/dosa batter. The main difference between uttapam and dosa is that uttapams are slightly thicker than dosas and are topped up with different savory toppings. In this recipe, we have topped it with some Indian cottage cheese which is nothing but fresh paneer, and some vegetables to add to the crunch.

The toppings are usually added to the uttapam as it cooks on the griddle/tawa, so they cook along with the batter. Uttapam is also a common street food and healthy too since it is rich in carbohydrates and contains no sugar or saturated fats. Use less oil while preparing and load up on the vegetables to keep them healthier. 

Furthermore, here are some important tips for a perfect uttapam recipe. Prepare the batter with 3:1 ratio of rice and urad dal. I have used normal sona masuri rice, however, you can use any idli rice or dosa rice. Lastly, if you are using an idli batter, make sure the batter is a bit thin but comparatively thicker than the dosa batter.

This is a great Lunch box recipe for kids. It's healthy and tasty. I usually make mini paneer uttapam to pack for kids lunchboxes.

How to Make Paneer Uttapam

  • Add oil around the edges and close the lid.
  • Cook for 1-2 minutes till the base is brown.
  • After a minute or two, flip the uttapam and let it cook till the onions are caramelized and crisp.
