Idli upma recipe with step by step pictures

Idli upma is a universal recipe for leftover idlis. It is the best way to make the leftover idlis as a breakfast or a snack. I usually prepare idli upma by tempering few ingredients and saute with turmeric powder which gives nice colour to the upma and flavour as well. I have already posted my version of Idli upma. Check that too.

This version of idli upma has learnt from some other blog. I was wondered that this version of idli upma doesn't have turmeric powder and it looks like rava upma as it is white in colour. It's main taste enhancer is Coconut. I usually serve idli upma with Coconut chutney but this recipe doesn't need any sidedish. I have done this with excitement and it truly tastes yummy. The flavour of Coconut gives great taste. Give it a try and sure you love it.
