I actually tried some today – after seeing onion uttapam in the frozen foods case of the Indian grocery that we like to buy loose tea in. (Wagh Bakri international blend, BTW – which makes a fantastic cuppa. As my English granny used to say, ‘strong enough to trot a mouse over.’) It’s an Indian brand, but as Neo said, it was very good, with a sourdough taste, crisp around the edges and with a tender crumb, rather like hard-set scrambled eggs. It came with four in a zip-lock bag, with two little containers of sauce. Very good – and will certainly buy again!

Mali kofta is my fave Indian dish… the sauce is so creamy and rich.

I love dosa, and that used to be my favorite, till I discovered uttapam.

I have never had uttapam even though I eat a lot of South Indian food. My in-laws are South Indian and make a number of items with the same batter: Fried in a thin crepe they are dosa, steamed in pucks they are idli, the favorite method is fried in balls about the size of a ping-pong ball. This is performed in an appo kaili.

I will have to ask my mother in law about why she never makes uttapam.

Our favorites are dosa and masala dosa, which is just dosa with some baji inside.

Uttapam is actually the delta area of the uterus according to Senator Udall. He has introduced legislation to preserve the delta area and ensure its survival.

Sharon you might want to stock up on Chocolate,
we have the Lindt chocolatier (?sp) here in NH (so yummy, they have a gourmet choc & red chili pepper bar, wacky but different, chocolate with an after burn, lol) there have been stories from them that they are worried how Ebola will effect access to West African chocolate.
I suppose it s time to resume growing chocolate in
South America, after all it is a new world crop but so slow, I think I read a tree is 6 years old before you get a harvest !

“Consider the Uttapam”-That sounds like something from Lewis Carroll.

I’ve been shopping at Trader Joe’s since 1977. It is one of those places that just keeps improving. I love chocolate, and for the $$, their chocolate can’t be beat. Great place to buy cheese as well!

Well, one of the nicer things about San Francisco is that I could throw a cat just about anyway, and hit a Trader Joes.

OTOH, we have about a bazillion Indian restaurants of all kinds here, too.
