But I made for my kid who is toddler so I did not use them.

3. Heat a your non-stick pan or tawa after it is heated turn it into medium low flame. Use a round serving spoon to spread the batter thick into 3 inch rounds on the top of batter spread the vegetables.

4. Spread the oil on the sides of uttapam . You can make 4 small or kid uttapams on a tawa. Gently press the vegetables on the uttapam with spatula and when it is light brown remove the lid and turn the Uttapam on the other side a spatula.

5. When it is cooked on both sides flip it iver to the first side and after a half minute serve with peanut chutney or cocunut chutney or tomato cutney, podi or sambar.
