Biryani needs no introduction. It’s probably the most loved meal in the Indian subcontinent. Though ‘Dum’ Biryani is known to have descended from a Turkish meat-rice variety, similar Arabian dishes can be a close contender to the claim.
Uttapam is a thick, savoury South Indian variety of pancake, whose main ingredient is usually a fermented batter made of lentils and rice. It generally has chopped vegetables added to it.
The light-fried savoury, slightly tangy pancake is considered healthy and is a good occasional break from the sweeter and lighter versions of its western variety.
