Idli Upma is one of the simplest and conventional breakfast dish. I generally use the leftover idlis from the breakfast and make Idli Upma out of it and have it for evening snack. It's very easy and quick to make. After the tempering, we add onions and allow it to cook. Once the onion is cooked, add the crumbled idli, spices and mix well. Ildi Upma is ready to serve. Serve with Coconut Chutney and hot coffee.
Few tips to make Idli Upma

- Add Idli Milagai Powder if available for the spice instead of Red Chili powder.
