Uttapam is a type of dosa from South India. It is a thick pancake, with toppings cooked right into the batter. Unlike a typical dosa, which is crisp and crepe-like, uttapam is a thick, with fresh toppings cooked right in the batter. Uttapam is sometimes characterized as an Indian pizza. It is traditionally made with rice and urad daal, which are soaked, ground, fermented, and then used to make the batter.

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour a ladleful of batter and spread it to a thick circular shape.
