This Upma with Leftover Idlis post is with step by step pictures and a short YouTube Video is a great idea to use leftover idlis (click here for Soft Idli Recipe) without wasting the food. The total preparation gets finished within 15 mins and there are no fancy ingredients in the dish. I really wonder how a simple tempering, adds so much taste and flavour to this idli upma recipe, believe me, once you try it on your own, you trust my words. I have already shared, other upma recipes like sooji upma, Vermicelli upma, Broken wheat upma….if interested do check it.

Notes

Tips for Upma with Leftover Idlis

1. Usually, leftover idli's works best, as it will be easy to crumble. But fresh idli's can also be used, ensure there is no moisture content.
2. If using refrigerated idli's, bring it to room temperature and then use it.
3. For more flavour, coconut oil can be used for tempering for this idli upma recipe.
4. I used shallots which gives a very nice taste, but regular onion can also be used.
5. To make it more colourful and healthy, finely chopped veggies like carrot, beans, peas etc can be added. But I mostly make it plain, as the veggies leave moisture and make the upma soggy.
6. If preferred, 2 pinches of turmeric powder can be used to get a yellow coloured upma.
7. Even 2 tbsp of roasted peanuts or cashews can be added, for crunchiness.
8. For more taste, 2 tbsp of grated coconut can be used at the end.
9. For a tangy taste, drizzle few drops of lemon juice at last. But switch off the flame and then add it, else it taste bitter.
10. If you want it more on the spicier side, sprinkle 1 tbsp of idli podi towards the end.
11. Instead of regular idli, leftover Rava idli's can also be used.
