Flavours of one Cuisine and Presentation of another....fusion or modernisation?

The Uthly is a new offering from the restaurant chain UpSouth. It is a nice combination of a couple of mini-uthappams, iceberg lettuce, a vegetable cutlet and maybe a slice of idli dipped in molagai podi and oil. It is being presented and sold much like a burger. It is not exactly fusion as all the ingredients and preparations are part of authentic South Indian cuisine. I am not sure if there is any name for this type of adaptation in how food is sold. UpSouth has chosen the presentation really close to the burger, including butter-paper wrapping, size/shape, lettuce, and ketchup sachets instead of any Chutney.  We loved the taste even if it was not delivered 'fast' as in fast food!



It is Vegetarian for sure. My guess it is Vegan and Gluten free too!
