Idli Upma

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY to all of you.... None can separate Gandhiji and Indian Independence. Though I learnt more about him through books, maagazines etc, when I read his auto-biography, SATHIYA SODHANAI (The story of My Experiments with Truth in English) , I started to admire and respect him more. I wonder how can a person be so truthful to everyone around him? . Friends, if you haven't read, try to read it soon.

Coming to the recipe, some time back when I made bondas, we had them more and so our stomachs were packed to its utmost capacity. I made Idlis for dinner that night quite less than usual, but even then some got left over. Who on earth does not know what to do with the left over Idlis? 

Here is the easy recipe.

Ingredients:

Idlis 5

Curry Leaves Few

Urad Dhal 1 tsp

Dried Red Chillies 2

Pearl Onions 6-7

Mustard Seeds 1 tsp

Oil

Preparation:

Crumble Idlis as fine as possible. Peel and chop Pearl Onions.

Method:

Heat Oil in a Pan. When hot, add Mustard Seeds. When the seeds completely pop up, add Curry Leaves, chopped Chillies and Ural Dhal. When Dhal turns slightly brown, add chopped Onions and fry till they turn slightly brown.

Now add the crumbled Idlis. Mix well so that the seasoning gets combined with the Idlis.

Simmer for few more minutes and serve hot.

Serves: 1

Serve with Idli-Milagai podi.

Notes:

If there are more left over Idlis, increase the seasoning and chillies. Need not add Salt as Idlis contain Salt already.
