Kugan you have posted so many simple dishes.
In fact, daily in my house is one of your dishes. We are all very lucky to have you.
Thanks Kugan for all the nice recipes. Gulabjamun.
Dear Dev, thanks for your nice post.
Dev, Seeyali, is actually a type of upma made with old iddlis.
You see, normally when there is old iddli, we will break it up into small pieces,
than talichufy it as upma.
My mil will make it into so many varieties.
Cut it into cubes, and it will become tomato iddli, machurian iddli,
masala iddli, coriander iddli, lemon iddli , pepper iddli and so on.
One of it is seeyali iddli. When we have visitors for breakfast, we have many varieties for them.
Her style of making the seeyali is a little different from the recipe, posted by you.
O.K let me post the recipe for you.
Thanks and take care. Kugan
