Notes

 

Frequently asked questions

 
Can I store the leftover Sabudana Uttapams?
There is no comparison to a freshly prepared Uttapam, so I recommend making them fresh. However, you can prepare the batter ahead and store it in an airtight container in the fridge.
 
Can I freeze the Uttapams?
I will not recommend freezing the Uttapams as they will lose their texture and flavor on being thawed.
 
Can I reheat the Uttapams?
Yes, you can reheat the Uttapams on a medium flame in a non-stick pan, and they will be as good as the freshly prepared ones.
 
How can I serve the Sawa rice sabudana Uttapams?
You can serve the Uttapams with any chutney of your choice. However, during fasting, when the consumption of onions and garlic is restricted, Vrat ki green chutney is the best accompaniment to this delicacy.
