Adai Upma – Upma with Adai Batter
September 21, 2015
Breakfast/Dinner 
-
Adai Upma is an easy breakfast/dinner recipe. I simply love this Adai Upma, when compared to other upmas like Aval Upma or Semiya Upma!! Whenever I make Adai , we prefer to have it for 1 or 2 servings only. After that I make this Upma which we enjoy much better than Adai. It also serves as a good use of the leftover batter. Once u try this recipe, u will prefer to reserve a portion of adai batter to make this from next time 🙂
Now to the recipe…
[Preparation Time-15 mins : Cooking Time- 30 mins]
Adai Upma Ingredients:
- Adai Batter – 2 cups (Check my Adai recipe HERE)
- Onion – 2
- Red chillies – 3 to 4
- Grated Coconut – 3 tbsp
- Oil – 3 tbsp
- Mustard – 1 tsp
- Urad Dal – 1 tsp
- Curry leaves – 1 sprig
- Salt – as needed
Method:
- Grease idli plates and pour the adai batter in each hole. Steam cook just like idlis. It will take 12-15 mins. Once cooked, take it off the idli plates and allow it to cool.
- Now crumble the idlis with your hands. Keep it ready. Heat a pan with oil and temper with mustard, urad dal, red chillies and curry leaves.
- Add chopped onions and saute until transparent. Now add the crumbled idlis and saute in medium flame for a few mins.
- Add grated coconut and saute for a few mins until it is slightly roasted and separated. It should not be sticky.
Thats it!! Adai Upma is ready!!
It tastes divine to sip a hot cup of coffee for every mouthful!!
Tips:
- While steaming the adai batter as idlis, it will take a little longer time to cook than the normal idlis.
- I have not added any salt, as the adai batter had enough salt in it. U can check salt and add accordingly.
- U can add green chilles instead of red chillies too.
- The more you fry this upma, the better it tastes.
- Sesame/Gingely oil is best for this Adai Upma.
Wow! This upma looks so inviting, Sundari. And also love that steaming hot glass of coffee! 🙂
