What one serving looks like

At 156 kcal, one serving is about 10 percent of a 1,600 kcal day and about 13 percent of a 1,200 kcal day. It is a filling breakfast with more bite than idli. With sambar it makes a plate that keeps most people going until lunch.

How cooking changes the number

It uses more batter than a dosa and a bit of oil on the tawa. A non-stick pan lets you use less.

A swap to try

Try Idli. Idli has no oil, so it is the lighter option. Idli (2 idli, about 100 g) comes to 128 kcal, which is 28 kcal less than 156 for onion uttapam.

Who might want to watch it

Nothing special, beyond the same advice about watching oil.
