Idli to Upma in 5 Mins ;-)

Off late cooking has become an important past time in my life. I have been trying out new dishes, not doing them from scratch but something like a remake, i.e taking a dish which has come bad and doing some repair work and churning out something which is new and very tasty to eat.One such experiment on few stone like idli's made by me, led to Idli Upma.

Steps:

Initially we would have to keep one utensil ( kadai ) ready.We need to finely cut onions and tomatoes and keep.

1) Make stone like idli's into very small pieces and sprinkle water on it's top.

2) Take an utensil ( kadai ) and put oil.Fry mustard , jeera , red chilly , urad dal , bengal gram dal till it becomes golden color.

3) Add green chilly, coriander and curry leaves as needed for taste.

4) Add and fry the onions and tomatoes which you have cut and kept.

5) Put the cut idli's into the kadai and fry them for a minute.

Wow..... Your delicious Idly Upma is ready to eat !

Next week i will teach you how to make Basmati Upma. ;-)
