High-Protein Uttapam
Ingredients:
For the batter:
230 g paneer, roughly chopped
1 handful fresh coriander (cilantro)
2 green chilies or add red chiili powder insted
1½ cups whole wheat chapati flour
1 tsp salt
¼ tsp turmeric powder (optional)
1 cup natural plain yoghurt
½ cup water
1 tbsp jaggery powder (or preferred sweetener)
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
2 tbsp lemon juice
some oil for cooking
For topping:
some finely chopped cabbage
some finely chopped carrot
Optional: peas, green beans, onion , tomato or chopped spinach
Instructions:
Prepare the paneer mixture:
In a food processor or chopper, add the roughly chopped paneer, coriander, and green chilies. Blend until well combined into a smooth mixture.
Make the batter:
Transfer the paneer mixture to a bowl.
Add whole wheat flour, salt, turmeric powder (if using), and yoghurt. Mix well.
Gradually add water and mix until you get a smooth, creamy batter.
Stir in jaggery, baking powder, baking soda, and lemon juice. Give it a gentle mix until everything is well incorporated.
Cook the uttapam:
Heat a pan over low to medium heat.
Pour about ⅓ cup of batter onto the pan.
Sprinkle the chopped cabbage and carrot on top (or other veggies of your choice).
Drizzle a little oil around the edges.
Cook for 3–4 minutes or until the bottom turns golden.
Carefully flip and cook the other side for another 3–4 minutes until crisp and golden.
Serve:
Serve hot with coconut chutney, any chutney, curry, pickle, or yoghurt.
💡 Tips:
You can adjust the water to get the batter consistency slightly thinner or thicker, depending on how fluffy or crispy you like your uttapam.
Add finely chopped onions, tomatoes, or bell peppers for extra flavor.
This recipe is high in protein thanks to paneer and yoghurt, making it a great breakfast or snack.
