Onion tomato uttapam

Also called: onion tomato uttapam, onion tomato uttapam, onion-tomato uttapam, onion tomato uttappam, uttapam onion tomato, uttapam

Onion tomato uttapam is that comforting South Indian breakfast that feels straight out of a busy tiffin or roadside dosa stall. Soft, slightly tangy, and topped with onions, tomato, and a little green chilli, it’s the kind of dish that smells amazing the moment it hits the hot tawa.

Key Takeaway: One uttapam of Onion tomato uttapam (180g) contains 831.6 kcal, 3.4g protein, 20.3g carbs, and 81.5g fat. This uttapam has a fermented base from rice and urad dal, so it can be gentler on the gut than plain batter food and may support healthy digestion. The onion and tomato topping adds a little fiber and vitamin C, while fenugreek seeds can also help with gut comfort. The catch is the oil here is quite high, so it may feel heavy for some people. If your stomach is sensitive, ask for less oil or make it at home on a well-greased tawa instead of deep roasting it.
