Uthappam With Tomato Cashew Nut Chutney

There is nothing new with making an Uthappam (Indian Pizza)  lol it is as simple as that. Dosa and it varieties can be considered as a Universal food. I have seen in many of the vegetarian restaurants people from different part of the Globe having Dosa. Coming to Uthappam it is also a variety of Dosa but it supplement more to your diet since it contains some veggies too.  But a Dosa won't be complete if you are served it with nice chutney or sambar. I have done many R&D to find how to prepare a tasty yet different style chutney.At last I experimented one Tomato Chutney but with lil alteration which made it taste even better.

Ingredients for Uthappam

Any veggies can be used. But I used

Grated Carrot - 1
