Onion Uttapam in Edmonton

About Our Onion Uttapam

Where a dosa is spread thin for crispness, an uttapam is left thick so it can stay soft and absorb the topping. We press finely chopped onions, chilies and herbs into the batter while the underside sets, then flip it briefly so the onions caramelise without drying out.

The result is somewhere between a savoury pancake and a South Indian flatbread: filling, gently spiced, and satisfying without being rich. Served with sambar and coconut chutney, it is a great choice for guests who want something more substantial than a dosa but still entirely vegetarian.

What Makes Our Onion Uttapam Special

• Made from the same naturally fermented dosa batter, poured thick
• Topped with onions, green chilies, tomato and fresh coriander
• Griddled so the base stays soft and the topping caramelises
• Served with sambar and coconut chutney
• Filling vegetarian option for lunch or dinner

How to Enjoy Onion Uttapam at Nitara

Cut it into wedges and eat it topping-side up so you get onion in every bite, dipping each piece in sambar or chutney. If you prefer crisp over soft, order a masala dosa instead.

Perfect Pairings

Uttapam goes well with medu vada on the side, or with a bowl of sambar and idli to round out a South Indian tiffin spread.
