Cook the Uthappams
Serve Hot
Replace the mutton keema with paneer bhurji (scrambled paneer), crumbled tofu, or a finely chopped mixed vegetable masala.
This recipe works wonderfully with chicken keema or turkey mince. Adjust the cooking time accordingly, as chicken cooks faster than mutton.
Increase the amount of green chilies, add a pinch of black pepper powder to the keema, or sprinkle some finely chopped red onions along with the keema on the uthappam.
After flipping the uthappam, you can crack an egg over the keema side and let it cook for a minute for an even richer version, similar to a 'Kari Dosa'.
Mutton is a high-quality protein source, essential for muscle building, tissue repair, and maintaining overall body function. Protein also contributes to a feeling of fullness, which can help with weight management.
The uthappam batter, made from fermented rice and lentils, provides complex carbohydrates. These are digested slowly, offering a steady release of energy without causing sharp spikes in blood sugar levels.
Mutton is a good source of heme iron, which is more easily absorbed by the body than non-heme iron from plant sources. Adequate iron intake is crucial for preventing anemia and maintaining energy levels.
The traditional fermentation process of the idli-dosa batter encourages the growth of beneficial bacteria (probiotics), which can improve gut health and aid in digestion.
One serving, which consists of two Mutton Keema Uthappams, contains approximately 450-550 calories. This can vary based on the fat content of the mutton and the amount of oil used.
It can be part of a balanced diet. It's a good source of protein from mutton and complex carbohydrates from the fermented batter. To make it healthier, use lean mutton mince, minimize the oil, and serve it with a side of salad or vegetable raita.
It's not recommended to use a gravy-based keema curry as the excess moisture will make the uthappam soggy. If you have leftover dry keema fry (sukha keema), it would be perfect for this recipe.
This usually happens for a few reasons: the tawa is not hot enough, you're trying to flip it too early before the base is set, the batter is too thin, or the topping is too wet or heavy. Ensure the bottom is golden and firm before attempting to flip.
Yes, absolutely. Chicken keema is a great alternative. It will cook faster than mutton, so reduce the simmering time in step 1 to about 10-12 minutes.
Yes. The mutton keema topping can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. The idli dosa batter also keeps well in the fridge for several days. This makes assembling the uthappams quick and easy.
