Idly upma is usually prepared with leftover or a day before prepared idlies, i make it very rarely and whenever i prepare idly,i'll definitely keep aside few idlies just to make idly upma with it specially for me. This time i prepared this usual idly upma with pepper powder and cooked split yellow moongdal to give a nutritious twist. They turned out simply awesome and delicious. This idly upma gets ready in less time eventhough you need to soak the yellow moongdal and cook it aside. Dont forget to make this peppered idly upma next time if you want to give a twist to usual idli upma, am sending this dish to Kalyani's Magic Mingle.
