'U' for Uttapam with Idli batter

Uttapam is traditionally made with tomatoes or an onion-chilli mix; other common ingredient choices are coconut or mixed vegetables. It is a dosa like dish which is made by cooking the ingredeints in the batter.I have used Idli batter and  garnished with toppings like chopped onions, green chillies, tomatoes and little jeera too. Many of us use our leftover Idli batter for preparing them. Nowadays, ready made instant mixes are also available in the market for making Uttapams.They  are good when served in combination with chutneys (my fav ginger pickle) and sambar.
