Paneer, vegetables and cheese uttapam

Breakfast is something which you can play around with colourful vegetables, cheese and cottage cheese.

When we grind for idly /dosa it lasts for about 4 days, then the innovation helps you to work with the batter.

Today I tried to make uttapam with a twist. 

A few finely chopped vegetables are added to dosa batter and the uthappam is spread in the tawa, garnish with thin stripes of paneer, sliced cheese, bell peppers, crushed pepper and finally a little molagai podi. Yum it was a wholesome breakfast with carbs, protein, spices, vegetables and greens.
