Idli Upma Recipe | Idli Upma with Leftover Idlis

Idli Upma – one of the best way to use the leftover idlis. You can make so many dishes using the leftover idlis such as idli chili, podi idli upma, spicy idli upma and much more. The method here shown is one of the simplest of all.

This idli upma can be made simple as shown here or you can include or reduce ingredients according to your needs. If you like idli upma to be colorful, add a 1/4 tsp of turmeric powder while sauteeing. You can even add peanuts while sauteeing. Instead of making idli upma with fresh idli, put idli in the fridge for an hour and then shred it. So that it will not be soggy. You can enjoy this idli upma for breakfast, brunch, evening snack or even as a dinner.  I have posted already another method of making use of leftover idli as Idli Chili. Now let us see how to prepare this recipe.
