Uthappam is very simple to make and it does not need any great expertise. All we need to do is to make the the toppings on uthappam. We can have many different varieties of toppings like onion, tomato, capsicum, paneer and much more. It depends on how creative we are and what your family likes. In the below recipe i made Uthappam using 6 different toppings which is very delicious as well as very presentable. We can plan for a great uthappam toppings to surprise our family and guests.
Many of generally use to do onion uthappam a lot. But i would encourage you to try different toppings. Kids love Panneer topping. Elders love the Podi topping. Capsicum/Carrot will also taste very yummy. I usually make a batter once a week, and use the batter for first two days to make idly's and third day for Dosa. Instead of Dosa, i also make Uthappam, which is loved by everyone in the family. You can also try this approach and give a pleasant surprise to your family

Notes
- Use Thick Dosa Batter for making Uthappam. Also we use well fermented batter. Usually I use the remaining dosa batter after finishing 2 or 3 batches of idli/ dosa for making Uthappam.
- Don't spread the dosa. After pouring the batter let it settle on its own
- Choose the topping of your choice in making Uthappam. For example you can use colored capsicum, instead of cheese you can use paneer, etc.,
- Use Low to Medium flame for making Uthappam, which enables the uniform cooking.
- Instead of oil, you can also use ghee for extra flavor and taste
