Uttapa deserves to be called the indian pizza as it lends itself to several toppings, the most popular being crisp cooked onions. You may also try other combinations such as onion and tomatoes. Usually vendors spread the topping over the uthappam batter and press it in well with their wet fingers. But, to avoid hurting your fingers, use a spatula if you're a novice!

To make {span class="bold1"}onion uttapam{/span}, combine the dosa batter with little water and salt in a bowl and mix well.
Heat and grease a non-stick tava (griddle) with little oil. Sprinkle a little water on it (it should sizzle immediately) and wipe off using a piece of cloth.

Sprinkle 1/7th of the topping (as we are making 7 uttapams) and press it lightly using a flat ladle.
Pour little oil on it and over the edges and cook on a medium flame for 2 minutes or till it turns light brown in colour.
Flip the uttapam, pour little oil on it and over the edges and cook on a medium flame for 2 minutes or till it turns light brown in colour from the other side as well. Press it lightly with the spatula.
