Hi Mullai,
Felt good to see this one. It has been a favourite breakfast for generations in our family. Coincidentally, I’m saying the same about turmeric powder, too. And we use channa dhal, too, for seasoning. Happy holidays…
We cant make idlis so i always by them and make upma… this is one of my favourite recipe… i use turmeric powder but.. will try this method too as i have some idlies in my fridge.. A tip i got from somebook..
Dip the idli in hot water for a sec, squeeze the water thoroughly and crumble it. You can do it to the idlis if they were refrigerated.
Hi Mullai..hmmmmm…idli upma looks great !!! u can also add turmeric powder..that makes it little colorful !!!
