Idli Upma/Idli Usili


This Idli upma/Idli usili is a tasty as well as easy to make breakfast. I am a great fan of this Idli usili which my mom makes the next day with left over idlis

If I am preparing Idlis for dinner, I prepare extra idlis for this upma. The next day morning, I prepare this upma with left over idlis. Even if your idlis are hard, it will still give you delicious upma.
