    Uttapam is one popular south Indian dish. This is similar to dosa and normally made with same batter that we use to make idli and dosa. In onion uttapam we use onions, tomatoes, coriander leaves and green chillies.

    This is easy and delicious breakfast recipe. In Mumbai, it's one of the popular street food just like dosa, idli, vada.

    I love South Indian dishes also. I remember my Dad was also a great fan of South Indian Cuisine. So since childhood we are more inclined towards this cuisine. Though it's originated in South India, This is equally loved in all parts of our country.

    These items like dosa, idli, vada, uttapam are always in my sunday breakfast menu. Though I love to make them at home, but whenever I feel lazy to make them I trust on our road side Anna's Idli Vada and dosa.

    Uttapam is similar to dosa but it's little thicker than dosa. Apart from lentils and rice mixture, you can use semolina and curd to make batter.

    In market also you will get readymade batter for dosa and idli. You may use that batter. Incase you want to make it instantly then make the same with semolina and curd batter. But in that case you need to rest it for 20 - 30 minutes.

    When I make uttapam for kid's lunchbox, I do make semolina mixture overnight and store it. When required in morning take out batter and make uttapam or dosa. Read my mini rava dosa for kid's tiffin box recipe.
