Podi Uthappam

Uthappam is a weekly visitor in my household. I grind Idli/dosa batter every weekend. After making fluffy soft Idlis, I use the rest of the batter for making dosa and Uthappam. I also pack this for my little one’s lunch box. For tiffin boxes, uthappam is the best choice over the dosa. It remains soft and eatable. While Uthappam is basically a thick crepe, the toppings on it are our own creativity. Any kind of veggies can be topped based on choice. I usually make onion and podi uthappams for my family. This combo is our favorite. Do try this for your breakfast or dinner and serve hot with chutney and sambar.

Instructions
  1. Heat a dosa pan. Finely chop the onion and coriander leaves set them aside.
  2. Once the dosa pan turns hot, pour a ladle of dosa batter to the center of the pan. Do not swirl it.
  3. Swiftly spread idli milagai podi, finely chopped onions, and coriander to the uthappam. drizzle sesame oil to the Uthappam. Let it cook until golden brown. This would take at least a minute or two.
  4. Flip over the Uthappam and allow it to cook for another minute. Serve them hot with chutneys or sambar of your choice.
Recipe Notes

  • Uthappams are meant to be thick. So avoid swirling in a circular motion.
  •  Instead of regular dosa pan, you can use the small uthappam pans that are available in the market.
  •  Instead of Idli podi, I sometimes use paruppu podi when I make the uthappams for my little one.
