Idli upma - Preparation time 10 mins if idli is readily available
One of my favourite dish. When mom makes lot of idli during breakfast she makes this item during night. Usually when the idli flour start becoming sour (after 2 or 3 days) it will be difficult to use so it can be used in different way. One is making idli upma with spice. This is the traditional one from grandma.
Mostly they won't waste any of the food items when they can make something hot and new (only when the item is good to use).
You can make it in few mins. Keep all the ingredients ready so when you back from office you can immediately.
Ingredients:-
Idli - 5 to 6
Green chili - 2 (chopped finely)
Curry leaves - 1 string
Water - little
Salt - to taste
Small onion - 10 finely chopped (if not available one big onion)
Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
Mustard - 1/2 tsp
Urad dal - 1 tbsp
Sesame oil - 2 or 3 tbsp
Preparation method:-
In a vessel crush the cooked (usually we will use morning cooked idli so it will be cool or if you are use fresh one let the cool so you can crush it) idli using clean hand.
Sprinkle little water, add turmeric with idli or while frying the onions and little salt.
In a tawa heat oil and add mustard to splutter, urad dal to become golden brown, green chili, curry leaves, onion and fry till the onion is cooked.
When onion is cooked add the crushed idli and mix.
The dish will change color to beautiful yellow.
You can serve this dish hot and without a side dish as we have added green chili for spice.
This is a very simple and easy to cook recipe when the idli is readily available.
Note: If your idli is too hard then also you can convert it to idli upma.
