Don’t we all have at least one version of uttappam/uttappa that we love? These are thick dosas topped with one or all of – onions, tomatoes, carrots etc. Usually I make uttappa (as we call it) with left over dosa batter , to just finish off the batter. Last year when aayi came to visit us, she made this version which she had seen in one of TV programs. We instantly became fans of these uttappas . According to me, this is anytime better than the ones I used to make before. Soft, fluffy, tasty, healthy. I sometimes add chopped carrot and tomatoes also. Needless to say, I have switched to this recipe of uttappas ever since I tasted it.

Update: Do not confuse boiled rice with cooked rice.
We both are big egg fans. We can take them in any form(except for uncooked versions), anytime. I just cannot have the same dish each time, so I keep collecting all possible recipes for egg. But I have few which I like to cook again and again. If they are simple to make, I love them more as it gives me some time to relax on weekdays.
This is a recipe which my sister-in-law R gave me. We were having our usual voice chatting and she said she had prepared stuffed eggs. She sent me the recipe and ever since I tried it, I have made it many times. I somehow forgot to post it here.
Those who do not like or do not wish to eat egg yolks, can discard them and just use other stuffing. It tastes great any way. Change the stuffing according to your choice.
Ingredients: 4 boiled eggs 1/4 cups onion 1/4 cups tomato 2-3 strands coriander leaves 1/2 tea spn garam masala 1/4 tea spn chili powder A pinch turmeric Oil Salt
Method: Peel the eggs. Cut them into half. Take out the yolks, taking care not to break the white part. Heat oil and add onions. When they turn translucent, add tomatoes, salt. Cook for a minute. Add all other masalas , crushed egg yolks, finely chopped coriander and mix well. While serving, stuff the white parts with the above stuffing and serve.
Serves : 2-3 Preparation time : 20mins
