Leftover idlis are a great headache and not knowing what to do, we end up reheating the same and having it again the same boring way. Why not try making an upma out of it? It tastes simply awesome and will disappear in no time.

Enjoy it with some spicy chili garlic sauce instead of coconut chutney and see the difference. It tastes so delicious. Enjoy it for breakfast, snack or lunch box meal. So check for a step by step method with pictures to prepare it.
