PODI IDLI UPMA.

Hi All,

Utilizing leftover food is always a tedious task for me...I bang my head thinking how not to waste the leftover food.I make variety of dishes with leftover idli and one dish which is on top list and very very quick ,easy to make is this PODI IDLI UPMA.This is my husband's favorite so whenever I make idli , I will make few idlis extra and next day I will convert it into podi idli upma.

The recipe is so simple and here below is for your ref too,

2. In a wide kadai heat 1 tsp ghee or coconut oil and add mustard , when mustard starts spluttering add urad dal , channa dal and saute in medium flame till golden brown.
   
3. Add curry leaves , chopped onion and saute till onions turn translucent.
   
4. Now add crumbled idlis to kadai , followed by idli podi and mix well in low flame till everything mixes well with crumbled idli.
   
   
5. Check for salt and add a pinch if required ( as idli contains salt already ,add only if required).

NOTES :

1. Refrigerating idlis help us to crumble the idlis easily.
2. Be generous in adding idli powder as it gives amazing flavour to upma.
