Paneer Uttapam – A Protein-Rich South Indian Delight with a North Indian Twist

Paneer Uttapam is a flavorful and nutritious twist on the traditional South Indian uttapam. Made from fermented rice and urad dal batter, this thick, soft pancake is topped with crumbled paneer (Indian cottage cheese) and mixed vegetables, offering a delicious combination of textures and flavors.

To prepare paneer uttapam, the fermented batter is poured thick onto a hot tawa. It is then topped generously with crumbled paneer, finely chopped onions, tomatoes, capsicum, green chilies, and coriander. A sprinkle of chaat masala or black pepper adds an extra zing. The uttapam is cooked on low to medium heat until the base turns golden and the toppings cook lightly, sealing them into the surface.

Paneer uttapam is a wholesome, protein-rich dish that’s perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dinner. It’s best enjoyed hot with coconut chutney, tomato chutney, and a bowl of sambar.

Soft, spicy, and satisfying – paneer uttapam brings together the best of North and South Indian flavors in one hearty dish.
