How can I make uttapam from dosa batter without the centre remaining undercooked?
Use a heat level that allows the centre to cook before the underside becomes too dark. Consider the moisture and amount of toppings, and avoid judging doneness only by the colour of the bottom.
Why it happens
Uttapam can remain undercooked in the centre when it is too thick, the pan is too hot for its thickness, or watery toppings cool the surface and slow setting.
How it works
Heat must travel through the full thickness. Wet toppings absorb heat and release moisture, while a high surface temperature can brown the base faster than the centre cooks.
