    Onion Uthappam Recipe with step by step pictures. It is a popular South Indian recipe and a very healthy dish and can be served with different types of chutneys.

    Onion Uthappam

    Whenever we make a batch of dosa batter, we will be enjoying idli and dosa for the first few days. And the last batch of the batter would be turned into uthappam or kuzhi paniyaram. Those last batch makes the perfect uthappam, specially when the batter is a little sour. This uthappam is my favourite, i love it a lot.
