Uthapam:

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons of ghee
  • 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon of mustard seeds
  • 1 medium onion red or brown, sliced finely into circles
  • 1 thinly sliced green chilli
  • A large pinch of curry leaves either fresh or dried
  • Dosa dough half a ladle
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Heat the ghee in a small frying pan. Add the cumin seeds, then the mustard seeds. Let them pop.
  • Then add the onion, chilli and curry leaves until the edges of the onion are golden and the centres are soft.
  • In your tava or flat pancake pan, add a little ghee, then put in half a ladle of the dosa dough. The circumference should be about 8-10 cm's (4/5 inches) and half a centimentre thick (1/4 inch). Let the bottom cook and add the onion on top.
  • You will see the dough bubble like a crumpet.
  • Add a pinch of salt and eat it all up. Then, probably, make another one and eat that all up too. Mmmm..
