Onion uttapam recipe

Kadai onion uttapam is my MIL’s special way of making onion dosa.This is Sendhil’s favourite breakfast recipe.I call this dosa as South Indian pancake Smile with tongue out .My in-laws are here in my place and we are having a good time together.Whenever my MIL visits us,i tell her to make some of her special recipes.This time she prepared paal kozhukattai & onion uthappam recipe.I will share paal kozhukattai in my next post.I usually make onion uthappam or tomato onion uttapam with leftover idli,dosa batter after it becomes too sour.I follow my mom’s method & make in open dosa pan.But my MIL always makes oothappam in kadai(irumbu chatti).With the smell of roasted onions,it gives a nice taste & flavour.So i thought of sharing this method which may be new to some of u.Friends,If u are bored of making oothappam in dosa pan,do try this method for a change.U’ll love it Smile.Bachelor’s can also give this a try.U can make it easily in a non-stick kadai.
