Idli Upma Recipe

We always end up using leftover idlis in idli upma or idli podi toast. Sometimes I make idlis in bulk to use the leftover for next days breakfast as its quick to put it together. I love any upma variety bread upma or even wheat rava upma. It is really interesting to see how a simple boring idli turns into this colorful upma…ahh guess I’ve started admiring food more only after I started photographing it 🙂 Now lets learn how to make idli upma

My Notes:

  • Instead of green chillies, you can even add red chillies.
  • You can add a tsp of coconut with onions which gives a nice flavour.
  • You can keep the idlis in fridge for 15mins for easy crumbling.
  • Add a tsp of idli podi along with the idlis to get a different flavour.
