             Hello folks, hope you all had a very happy weekend and me also enjoyed my weekend with Diwali shopping and get together party. This weekend was so great and left soon. hope you all in Diwali mood and preparing sweets and snacks to enjoy the festival day with your friends and family. My Hearty wishes to you all. Coming to today's recipe, very simple and nice transformation of left over idly. I got this idea from Priya sreeram's sizzling tangy idly recipe. She deep fried the idlys with pickle and idly podi. But i don't have heart to deep fry idly so I tried in simple and yummy idly upma. with cut Mango pickle and Milagai podi. It was so yummy and i love the tangy pickle taste n flavor along with crunchy ginger. Really a drool worthy recipe...try this, definitely u will love it... , i just love this with tomato ketchup. yum..yum...Now to  the yummy Pickle Idly Upma...
