UTTAPAM PIZZA

Uttapam Pizza is a fusion recipe where we are using Dosa/ Uttapam batter to make the base of the pizza. This is a quick and delicious recipe which you can  make when you do not have time for making pizza base or when you wish to spice up your regular uttapams. This is also a great snack that you can serve your kids.

Here I have used onions, capsicum and boiled sweet corn along with cheese. You can also make Uttapam pizza using tomatoes, chicken, paneer, olives or any other ingredient of your choice. 

Here I have not given the recipe of making Uttapam/ Dosa batter. This batter is same as the Idli batter that I have shared recently. I grind and refrigerate the batter in large quantities and use the same batter to make Idli or Dosa or Uttapam. You can check out the Uttapam/ Idli batter recipe HERE.
