Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the egg, water, and lemon juice together with the curry and chili powders, and fresh cilantro.
- Once these are blended, add in the garlic, onions, and red bell pepper.
- Finally, mix in the almond flour. Use a whisk or mixing spatula to blend it well by hand – the batter should be airy. Set aside.
- In the meanwhile, heat a skillet on the stove top and allow oil to be fairly hot. Be generous about oil for cooking as we want the uttapams to flip easily and not get stuck or burnt.
- Spoon uttapam batter to stove top pan – about four 3-inch (7.5 cm) circles in every batch – and allow one side to cook completely (should be golden brown) before flipping over to cook the other side.
- Remove and allow to cool.
- Repeat process until all batter is used up.

Notes
Uttapams are a staple of South Indian fare, and are often referred to as an Indian pizza because they are flat and savory. You can top them with vegetables, chicken, chutneys, or simply enjoy them plain. These SCD-style uttapams are a delicious addition to your international meal planning.
