IDLY UPMA

       Idly is a staple food of South India.Left over idlies can be turned into idly upma,podi idly,chilly idly. I survived with idly and podi through out my college days.

In my hostel idly will be like a stone. But the left over idlies will turned out into idly upma for dinner. At that time you can see a huge crowd for this upma. We would reserve this upma for our friends,seniors. There is nothing special in making this upma. You can add carrots if you want it to look attractive.Small Onions gives a good taste to this upma.
