Instructions

1. 1. In a mixing bowl, combine paneer cubes with turmeric, red chili powder, coriander powder, garam masala, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and let it marinate for 10 minutes.

5. 5. Sprinkle the sautéed vegetables evenly over the batter and gently press them down. Drizzle a few drops of oil around the uttapam and cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden and crisp.
6. 6. Flip the uttapam carefully and cook the other side for another 2 minutes until cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter.
7. 7. To serve, place the uttapams on a plate and top them with the sautéed paneer. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
