About Idli upma

Idli Upma is a savory dish from South Indian cuisine, made by repurposing crumbled steamed rice cakes called idlis. Traditionally, leftover idlis are sautéed with mustard seeds, curry leaves, green chilies, turmeric, and onions, creating a flavorful, quick meal. Some variations include the addition of vegetables such as carrots, peas, and beans to boost nutritional value, or roasted peanuts for added texture. Idli Upma is a wholesome dish, as idlis are naturally low in fat, gluten-free, and steamed—making them a healthier alternative to fried counterparts. The use of aromatic spices enhances digestion and metabolism. However, its healthiness can vary based on the amount of oil and optional ingredients like nuts or coconut added during preparation. High in carbohydrates, Idli Upma provides energy but may be less suitable for those on low-carb diets. It’s an ideal dish for a light breakfast or comforting snack.
