Ingredients :


Idlis : 6
Onion : 2
Potato : 1 small (optional)
Oil : 2 tbsp
Mustard seeds : 1/2 tsp
Urad dal : 1 tsp
Chana dal : 1 tsp
Green chillies : 2
Curry leaves : few
Red chilli powder : 1/2 tsp (it will give colour. If you don't like colour change, then do not add red chilly powder, but add 3-4 green chillies instead of 2)
Turmeric : pinch
Fresh coriander leaves : few
Salt

Method:

1. Take oil in a pan, add mustard seeds, allow it to crackle.
2. Add urad dal, chana dal, green chillies chopped, few curry leaves, chopped onions and saute till onions become translucent.
3. Now add finely chopped potato (finely chopped so that no one can identify that potato has been added in the upma ;) ). Actually I personally do not prefer adding potato. But my husband and daughters love it when potato is added. So you can try adding potato else skip this step.
4. Add pinch turmeric and saute for a min.
5. Add salt and then cook with closed lid till potatoes get cooked. If you are not adding potatoes, you can skip this step.
6. Now open the lid, add crumbled idlis, add salt (in case you have skipped step5 and not added salt), red chilli powder, . Mix well and saute for 2-3 min.
7. Add chopped coriander leaves. Serve hot.
