Notes:

You can use grated carrots 

You can use chilli flakes instead of peppercorns 

I used pepper today as I didn’t have crushed peppercorns 

You can make uthappams with ordinary dosa batter also

Once covered with a lid make sure to lower the flame for sometime for the uthappam to cook 

You can make small or large uthappams

I made large uthappams today

You can serve with sambar or tomato or coconut chutneys also

I preferred eating plain without chutney 

I’ll post recipe for onion chutney later
