Idli Usli-Idli upma

Sometimes when I'm very busy with my work i had  this habit of making some extra idlis so that i can  refrigerate and use it for another day  .But when these idlis popped out on our breakfast table  for the second time in a week Ranjit would give me a weird smile .This was when i invented this idly upma.It is slightly different from the one that my amma used to make (i shall post that recipe later).I must share this with you that he really liked it .Since this upma includes a lot of veggies you can also make it for your kids as a healthy evening snack. Hope you will like it.
