Idli Upma


This is a quick fix dish that you can make from the left over idli's from breakfast. I usually make this for dinner if there are left over idlis at breakfast. Atleast husband dear cannot complain that he is being served the same dish 2 times a day.

Ingredients:
    • Cooked idli's -  6-7
    • Onions - 2
    • Green Chilly - 1
    • Frozen green peas - thawed - 1 cup
    • Curry/Sambar Powder - 1 tsp
    • Chicken Masala Powder - 1 tsp
    • Red Chilly Powder - 1/2 tsp
    • Turmeric Powder - 1/4 tsp
    • Mustard Seeds - 1 tsp
    • Cashew Nuts - 3 tbsp
    • Jeera -  1 tsp
    • Urud Dal - 1 tsp
    • Channa Dal - 1 tsp
    • Curry Leaves - 1 sprig
    • Cinnamon - 1
    • Cloves- 2
    • Corriander Leaves - Chopped
    • Oil
    • Salt to taste.

      Method:
      • Dip each idli in water, squeeze the water out and crumble.
      • Heat oil in a kadai, splutter mustard seeds. 
      • Add the cashew nuts and fry.
      • Add Jeera, cinamon and cloves.
      • Add red chilly, urud dal and channa dal
      • When seasoning becomes brown enough, add curry leaves and cook.
      • Add onions, chilly and peas and cook.
      • Add salt, turmeric powder, chilly powder, chicken masala and curry powder and mix well.
      • Add the crumbled idly and cover on low flame for 5 mins.
      • Sprinkle corriander leaves and serve.

        Note: You may add vegetables like carrots and potatoes if you want, but you will have to wait till it gets cooked before adding the idli.
