Onion Podi Uthappam / Podi Uthappam


For the day 2 of final week in Cooking Carnival is onion,podi uthappam.Uthappam is a thick pancake like dosa can be made plain or with toppings.When it comes to toppings so many variations are made.
Onion uthappam is a popular one and everybody likes it and every household has their own version.

Coming to the recipe,I have adapted this recipe in a cookery show and its quite popular in a particular shop in Chennai.Its a onion uthappam sprinkled with a spicy garlic podi/powder and cooked using generous amount of ghee.This uthappam is served along with mint chutney and onion coriander chutney.

The exact recipe for the podi/powder was not given but I tried my own version and used it.
The podi came out so flavorful and when its sprinkled along with onion,it makes the uthappam so tasty.

Rava Kozhukattai/Rava Pidi kozhukattai

For the alphabet R,I decided to make something with rava aka semolina.But I have blogged most of the  rava recipes  in Tamil cuisine. When I was going through the cook books and hand written recipes,rava kozhukattai caught my attention. The method of making this kozhukattai is same as  upma kozhukattai ,whereas rava/semolina is used instead of rice.Both sweet and savory versions can be made with semolina.As we had lot of sweet dishes in the previous week I made the savory version.Soon share the sweet version.This is a great option for evening snack and I served with coconut chutney.Lets move on to the  recipe............                                                                                          ...
