Welcome

Being passionate travelers means plenty of variations. Be it cloths, places, entertainments, or food, you have a large database of options in front of you. True, we were never ardent about cooking, but we were always one food loving couple. And, our interest for travel took us all the way from India to Nepal to Somalia to Maldives to Uganda. We did not travel to these countries for mere journey. We found jobs in every country, stayed for a couple of years, learned the ins and outs of their customs and practices, and then of course food. It's so wonderful to have them all shared it with you, the taste that we loved in India.

Uthappam (South India)

Another South Indian favorite is Uthappam. Though it can be prepared at home, the dish is more popular in South Indian restaurants. Very similar to Dosa, Uthappam is also made from the same dosa batter; just we are adding a few more ingredients and changing a few steps in preparation.
Ingredients

Dosa batter 2 cups
Onion 1 cup (chopped)
Green chili 1 teaspoon (chopped)
Coriander leaves a few (chopped)
Tomato1 cup (chopped)
Ghee as required



Method
§  Prepare batter as we have done for dosa.
§  Mix Onion, green chili, tomato, and coriander leaves in a bowl.
§  Heat a greased nonstick griddle and pour 1½ ladle of batter and spread it using the back of ladle to a thin round shape (thicker than dosa).
§  Spread 2 to 4 drops of ghee on the spread batter.
§  Top the cooking batter with mixed vegetables and cook at low or medium flame for 3 to 4 minutes.
§  Add some butter on the top and sides of the Uthappam to get it crunchy.
§  Cook on both sides and serve hot with Sambar and chutney. It may also go well with tomato ketchup.
