Idli Upma Recipe

Idli upma is a great recipe to try if you have leftover idlis in your refrigerator and you want to make a new recipe out of it. This one is a 15-minute recipe and can be modified in various ways. Though in this recipe I haven’t added any vegetables, but you can add them if you want to. Carrots, capsicum, beans, etc. can be added to make it more filling. You can also add tomatoes to the recipe and convert it into a tomato idli upma as well. You can serve the idli upma with a drizzle of lemon juice or with homemade coconut chutney.
Here is a step by step recipe of the same.
