Idly Upma

Idly Upma:

During my school and college days, Idly upma will be there atleast twice a week in my breakfast menu. I loveee Idly upma that too my mom’s..We can make Idly upma in different ways by adding different masalas. For spice, we can add green chillies or pepper powder or even red chilli powder. We can add even tomatoes, fennel seeds or any other masalas. But I love Idly upma in simple way with more urad dal for the crunchy taste. Here is the recipe…

3. Before the dals turn brown add the onions followed by the ginger and turmeric powder.
