How to Make Corn Uttapam

  1. Boil 1 cup of corn kernels with 1/2 teaspoon of salt until tender (about 5-7 minutes).
  2. Drain the corn and set aside to cool.
  3. Blanch 1 medium tomato by scoring an 'X' at the bottom and placing it in boiling water for 30 seconds. Immediately transfer to an ice bath. Peel off the skin easily.
  4. Puree the boiled corn, blanched tomato, and 1-2 green chilies (adjust to your spice preference) in a blender until smooth.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the corn and tomato puree with 1/2 cup rice flour, salt to taste (about 1/4 teaspoon), 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro.
  6. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
  7. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the hot pan for each uttapam. Spread gently to form a small pancake.
  8. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges begin to brown.
  9. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until lightly browned on the other side.
  10. Serve hot with your favorite chutney or sambar.
