Idli Podi upma / Idli Podi Toast

Idli podi upma is one of the regular lunch box recipes that i send for my son I miss the alarm and wake up late or for those tiring mornings.. This is no fancy recipe just cube the ldli and toss it in the podi.. I never thought that i will be sharing this easy recipe as i made it just for my kids liking and started to pack for lunch box too.

On a casual chat session with my friends and neighbours when i told about this idli podi toast it was something very new to them and they came back saying the lunchbox returns empty when i send this.. And insisted to post this idli podi toast recipe here with stepwise pictures so here is the post, atleast few who are new to this recipe might get benefited.. This is easy for the kids to eat...
