Uttapam Sandwich

This recipe came in my mind when my sister in law visited from India. We were having Bombay sandwich for dinner and she told me that she doesn't eat bread. I had a leftover uttapam batter in the refrigerator I made mini uttapams and made a sandwich for her. To this day my family loves  it and I make it often. Also with same concept I make idli sandwiches and white dhokla sandwiches

Soaking time: 4 hours
Fermentation time: overnight or 6 to 7 hours
Prep time:  10 minutes (for batter you have to start ahead in time)
Cooking time: 35 minutes
