Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 0.33 cup Yogurt (full-fat, unsweetened)
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Chopped onion
- 0.25 cup Chopped tomato
- 1 teaspoon Chopped green chili
- 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Oil or ghee
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, yogurt, egg, water, and salt. Mix well to form a smooth, pancake-like batter. Add a little more water if the batter is too thick.
Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium heat and add a small amount of oil or ghee.
Pour a ladleful of batter onto the skillet and spread it gently into a small circle, similar to a pancake.
Sprinkle chopped onion, tomato, green chili, and cilantro on top of the batter while it's still wet.
Press the toppings gently into the batter using a spatula.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on medium heat until the bottom is golden brown, then carefully flip the uttapam.
Cook the other side for another 2 minutes until fully cooked and golden.
Remove from the skillet and repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the low-carb uttapams hot with coconut chutney or a side of your choice.
