Idli upma is a very easy recipe which is usually made for dinner with the leftover idlis of the breakfast. This time, I have done with the freshly made idlis (Savoury cake). Normally idlis are made with already prepared batter. The batter has 1 part black gram ( skin removed) and 4 parts idli rice. Soak it in water and grind it in a blender or wet grinder and add 3 tbsp rock salt or powdered salt, ferment it for a night and the batter is ready to use in the morning.
In winter, idli/ dosa batter can be prepared by soaking the rice in water for overnight instead of normal 3 hours of day soaking ( which is for summer). The overnight soaking of rice makes the rice already fermented to certain extent and helps the batter to get fermented in cold winter weather without adding yeast.
It is a very simple recipe made with crumbled idli, then season it. Serve it hot.
