Puttu Upuma

This is what my mother did with leftover puttu, she made it into upuma. Since puttu is dry in itself, it needs to be consumed with a curry or banana. Making an upuma out of it makes it less dry and it can be eaten without any curry. It is tasty too. I normally make enough puttu so that the remaining can be made into puttu which is normally eaten with a fried egg in my household.

Puttu Upuma


Ingredients

1. Left over puttu - 2 cups
2. Mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp.
3. Broken red chilly - 1 nos.
4. Small onion sliced finely - 3 or more
5. Curry leaves - few
6. Oil - 1 or 2 tbsp.
7- Water - 5 tbsp. or more

Method

Crackle the mustard seeds in oil and fry items 2-5 until well browned. Lower the flame. Add the puttu after it has been broken down well and keep sprinkling water while you stir it. Switch off the flame once it has been heated through and is soft enough.

Any pickle is enough but a fried egg is a good combination.

Or like me, if you do not mind a combination of sweet, sour and hot, add some sugar too and enjoy!
