Vegetable Idli Upma Recipe, How to Make Vegetable Idli Upma, Idli Upma
Vegetable Idli Upma Recipe is one of the breakfast recipes made from leftover idli’s. In South India this recipe is very famous, I have seen people make this recipe in a simple way by just tampering and adding it to mashed leftover idlis.
Even I followed the same but made it a bit healthier. Sometimes idli may taste tangling or even become hard to eat. In order to remove that flavor, I added vegetables. It doesn’t even need any side dish, it can be served as breakfast or as an evening tiffin.
Although we make idli in regular passion, sometimes because of the change in whether idli’s come out very hard to eat. In that scenario instead of wasting or throwing away them, we can make Vegetable Idli Upma.
