Idli Upma

Another way of dealing with leftover idlis, a quick and tasty snack! "Upma" is a portmanteau of "uppu" (salt) and "maavu" (flour) and is a South Indian staple that comes in many forms, the most popular version being made of rava (semolina).

Ingredients:
Idlis, broken into bite-size pieces - 5-6
Molagapodi - 1-2 tsp
Mustard seeds - 1 tsp
Split black gram (udad) dal - 1 tsp
Oil - 2 tbsp
Salt - to taste

Time: 10 min
Servings: 1-2

Method:
Mix the molagapodi into the idli pieces. Heat the oil in a wok and sputter the mustard seeds and udad dal. Mix in the idli pieces and fry for a few minutes. Add salt and serve hot with sambar or as is.
