Of late, I have begun to enjoy the uthappams better (a sure sign I am getting older, I guess!) and I didn’t have to think further to come up with an entry for this month’s JFI – Onions hosted by Radhi’s Kitchen.
Onion Uthappam Recipe
I used readymade batter for the dosa. To make the batter at home, take rice : urad dhal in 3 : 1 ratio, soak overnight (or atleast 5-6 hours) in water separately, grind separately and then mix together, adding salt. This batter should be kept covered for another 5 hours or so before you can start making the dosa.
Once the batter is ready, pour enough batter on a hot griddle and spread in a round, even shape. It should be thicker than the normal dosas. Then, lay finely chopped onions over the uthappam. Sprinkle some gingelly oil and turn to cook the other side.
I normall add fresh finely chopped cilantro leaves and red chillies too, but didn’t get any this weekend and I was out of red chillies too. Do try the variation. The crunchy onion pieces that you come across while you eat is divine!
Serve hot with coconut chutney and sambhar.
Man, now I’m really hungry!!:)
I like uthappams too nowadays.. sprinkled with some milagai podi on top.
Have a similar experience.. always thought that dark chocolate is something only older pple enjoy but now I can’t stand milk chocolate anymore… 🙂

The uthappams look so inviting Nags. mmmmmm just the perfect way, n onions are my fav,so I would really, really love to have them.
I used to hate uttapams …till I ate this yummy masala uttapam at Sundar’s in Matunga, Mumbai – delicious!
Onions uttapams are a rarity in our home because hubby expects a ratio of one onion (if possible even two) per uttapam!
the lacy soft uttapams you made look just right!
