Idli Upma

Sometimes, I have leftover Idlis .I use those idlis to make idly upma. This is a dish that tastes best when made with Idlis that are at least a few hours old. Keep the extra Idlis in the air-tight container and leave them overnight in the fridge. I have found that leaving the idlies in the fridge overnight and pulsing them in a food processor yields a good texture of the upma.I just mashed it softly with hand only.Anyways this is perfectly yummy and comforting. No side dish is necessary.
