Here I have used shallots which is the small red onions we use in sambar. It’s extremely healthy and cooling to the body, eaten raw with curd rice too in the south. It’s good for nervous health. The chutney I’ve paired these uthappams with is tangy & spicy tomato garlic chutney that is easy to make and can be mixed with rice also. This chutney is a staple in Andhra. Garlic cooked this way is god for weight loss and you get best results when eaten for breakfast! Kids and adults will love this delicacy!
