Onion tomato uttapam recipe - Onion tomato uttapa

Onion tomato uttapam or uttapa recipe - This is a very delicious South Indian breakfast dish loved by all Indians. It is soft and consumed with coconut chutney and sambar. Making uttapa is not difficult. You can also make it by using dosa batter. The secret behind the taste of uttapam depends on  the correct combination of its ingredients and the level of fermentation. For soft and aromatic uttapam, medium level of fermentation is required and too much fermentation makes it sour. I love uttapam a lot and make it at least once in a week. So, sharing the recipe with you all.
