Onion Podi Uthappam | Onion Podi Dosa | Dosa Varieties

Onion Podi Uthappam is an easy and delicious south indian breakfast. It is made using gun powder and chopped onion. It can be served with coconut chutney. For better result the gun powder and onion should be sprinkled on perfect timing. I usually drop them immediately after spreading the batter and press it once the batter becomes little dry. It always gives good results. The batter should be little thin. And the skillet should be cleaned after each dosa.

Onion Podi Uthappam

Recipe Cuisine: South Indian | Recipe Category: Breakfast

Prep Time: 5 mins | Cooking Time:5 mins | Serves:2

Ingredients:

Dosa batter - 2 cups

Onion - 1, large

Idli podi / Gun powder - as required (2 to 3 tsp per dosa)

Salt - to taste

Sesame oil / Nallennai - as required

Method:

Finely chop the onion and keep aside. Mix the dosa batter with salt and water. The batter should not be very thick.

Heat a skillet or cast iron pan. Once the pan becomes hot, take a ladleful of dosa batter and pour it on the skillet. If the batter is thin it will spread automatically.

Add enough podi immediately all around the dosa and sprinkle some chopped onions. Drizzle oil over the dosa. This process should be done immediately after pouring the batter. At this stage the podi and onion will stick to the batter well.

Once cooked, flip to the other side. Cook for some time and serve with chutney or sambar.

Note:

• Clean the skillet with a kitchen towel after each dosa.
