Soccer Ball Uthappam

Uthappam  is one the favorite tifffin items in South India. The toppings for it is innumerable. Goes perfect with Sambar or chutney. I prepare Uthappam with Onion topping or Paneer topping. Since the soccer fever is on I wanted to make them in Soccer ball pattern. Cut the paneer slices in the required patterns, fried them n arranged them in the soccer ball pattern. If you want a healthier option you an grill them too.
