This morning, the husband was not happy when I made these delicious zucchini utthapams because he likes his dosas plain and simple. Then he looks at the date and goes ‘Ah! Z!’ It is amazing when the family is so into our mega marathon and it also is awesome that we have completed another mega marathon and posted 26 different dishes, one for each letter of the alphabet. This is the final one in my month long dosa series and with Z it had to either be one of zataar or zucchini dishes. I figured it is easier to get hold of zucchini.
Since zucchini is a neutral tasting vegetable, I made these utthapams with a little ginger and onion and they tasted amazing. The daughter finished off two utthapams in a jiffy and that is proof enough.

Makes 5-6 Utthapams
WHAT WE NEED
2 cups Dosa Batter
1/4 cup Grated Zucchini
2 tsp Grated Ginger
4 tbsp Finely chopped onion
Salt
Oil
WHAT TO DO
- Add the zucchini, ginger and salt to the dosa batter and mix well
- Heat a tava and drizzle a little oil on it
- Pour a ladle full of batter and spread it to a thick circular shape
- Add some of the chopped onions on top of the utthapam
- Drizzle some oil around the edges of the utthapam and cook on high flame
- Once the top looks cooked, use a steel spatula to disengage the utthapam from the tava and turn it over
- Reduce the flame to simmer and let it cook for around a minute
- Take it off the tava and repeat the procedure with the remaining batter
- Serve warm with chutney or sambhar of your choice
- Enjoy!

For letter Z I had two options only, zucchini and zafran. Zafran won as I love as I love saffron. Coming to your final flatbread, Sowmya, I’ve loved your dosas and didn’t know so many varieties existed. Zucchini Uttapam looks very delicious. I’ve soaked rice and dal to make a huge batch of batter so that whenever I run out of ideas what to serve hubby for dinner the batter will come to my rescue.
