Why uttapam calorie numbers differ
Uttapam is a thick, soft pancake of fermented rice and urad dal batter, topped with onion, tomato, carrot, cabbage and green chilli. It is thicker than a dosa, so its size and thickness set how much batter you eat, while the oil drizzled around and under it on the tawa adds the rest. Heavy toppings and a generous drizzle make restaurant uttapams richer.
One extra teaspoon of ghee or oil (5 g) adds 45 kcal, 18% of the calories in 1 uttapam.
The numbers here are for a standard home recipe at 100 g per uttapam. Weigh your portion or compare it with that weight.
