Serves: 4 people

Ingredients:

Leftover idlis: 9

White cowpeas/ black eyed peas- 100g (soak overnight & pressure cook)

Carrot (big)- 1 no. (100g)

Capsicum (medium)- 1 no. (70g)

Onion (medium)- 1 no. (50g)

Red chilli powder- 1 tsp

Gun powder (idli molaga podi)- 2 tsp (adjust to taste)

Salt- to taste

Oil- 2 tsp

Mustard seeds- ½ tsp

Urad dal- 1 tsp

 

Method:

Heat oil in a pan. Add ½ tsp mustard seeds, let it splutter.

Now, add urad dal and let it splutter.

Then add the chopped onions and saute until it turns translucent.

Add the veggies (carrots and capsicum) and cook it for a few minutes.

Once it is cooked, add boiled cowpeas and mix it well.

Add the crumbled idlis, salt, gun powder (idli molaga podi) and red chilli powder and give it a good mix. Since the idlis and cowpeas are already cooked, we need to cook for about 2 minutes to let the spices blend well. Turn off the stove and serve it hot!

Enjoy tasty and filling idli upma. 😋
