Drizzle a little oil around the edges and cook on medium flame for 3 to 4 minutes until the base is golden and the egg is almost set. Flip carefully and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the egg is firm and no wet egg remains.

Repeat with the remaining batter and eggs to make 3 more uttapams, adding a little oil before each one. Cook each for 3 to 4 minutes until the base is golden, then flip and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the egg is firm with no wet egg. This takes about 5 minutes per uttapam.
