Onion Uttapam – Soft, Savory South Indian Comfort Food

Onion Uttapam is a thick, soft, and flavorful South Indian pancake made from fermented rice and urad dal batter, topped generously with chopped onions. It’s a popular and simple variation of uttapam that’s quick to make and incredibly satisfying.

To prepare, the batter is poured thick onto a hot tawa (griddle), and finely chopped onions are evenly spread over the top. Optional toppings like green chilies, coriander, and a sprinkle of black pepper or chaat masala can enhance the flavor. The uttapam is cooked slowly on both sides until golden and the onions are slightly caramelized, adding a natural sweetness and crunch.

Onion uttapam is soft in the center, crisp at the edges, and loaded with flavor. It’s typically served hot with coconut chutney, tomato chutney, and sambar, making it a wholesome meal for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Simple yet delicious, onion uttapam is a go-to comfort food that never disappoints.
