Onion-Green Chilli Uttapam [Southern Indian Pancakes]
Onion-Green Chilli Uttapam
Uttapam is one of the great tasting South Indian snack or breakfast. It has many different versions but Onion-Green Chili is one of my all time favorite. Instead of onion-chili, you can add any fresh vegetable of your choice .
