Onion Uthappam (Oothappam) is one of the varieties in Dosa. Onion Uthappam is usually made in all South Indian houses mainly for breakfast. Onion uthappam is usually made by sprinkling onion, tomato & green chilies on top of the batter which gives a different taste to the dosa. We can even use our choice vegetables but should be finely chopped so that it can be easy to spread over the batter.
