Idli Upma

Idli upma is a very simple and delicious dish prepared  with left over idlis. Whenever Sis and I get bored with regular idli, my Mom prepares this.

Method:

• Heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds. When it splutters, add bengal gram, urad dal, hing and curry leaves
• When dal turns golden brown, add finely chopped onions ans saute till onion turns translucent. Then add  coriander powder, cumin powder, Idli podi and salt mix well. Finally add Crumbled Idlis and cook for 3-5 minutes (depending on the texture needed your upma)

Notes

1.Do not prepare this upma with hot idlis.The idlis have to be cold, so that they will get crumbled nicely. Refrigerate idlis for at least 1 hour for easy crumble
2.Can add green chillies instead of idli podi
3.Add ginger garlic paste/ garlic powder to make it flavorful
