Main Course

Idly Upma

A traditional preparation from Kerala that balances flavour, texture, and aroma in the way that only home cooking can. No two households make it exactly the same, and that is the point.

Ingredientsfor 3 servings

10 nos Idly — cut into cubes
1 nos Onion — finely chopped
2 nos Green chillies — chopped
1 tsp Mustard seeds
2 nos Dry red chillies
Curry leaves, a few
Salt, to taste
1/2 tsp Coriander powder
Garam masala powder A pinch
Coconut oil, to taste

Preparation

Step 1
For preparing idly upma, first cut the prepared idlies into cubes and set aside.
Step 2
Heat the oil in pan, let the mustard seeds crackle, dry chillies and curry leaves.
Step 3
Cook onion and green chillies.
Step 4
Add little salt, coriander powder and cook it, stirring.
Step 5
Add idlies and Stir everything together thoroughly. Sprinkle garam masala and take it off the heat.
Step 6
Spicy recipe with idly is ready.

Tip

When the recipe says "medium heat," it means medium. Kerala cooking is not about high-flame drama — most of the work happens at a patient, steady temperature.
