LeftOver Idli(/Rice/Bread) Upma

 My mom used to make this upma using idlies leftover from breakfast when we were kids .This used to be our evening snack and we used to love it . Sometime we would  request her to make this for our lunch box using fresh idlies. But i must say a little dried out idlies :) i.e leftover idlies are best for this recipe. Now i make this in winter when sometimes my ildlies are not soft enough :). This upma can be made with leftover rice or day old bread too.
