Bread UpmaBread is readily available in many homes. It serves as a quick breakfast, lunch and sometimes dinner too. I was never inclined towards eating bread when I was a kid, as I had a different attitude towards it. I used to think only sick people eat them. But, I've changed after coming here to US. So many varieties of bread is available and it is staple food here.
Subway sandwiches serves a quick and healthy bite on a busy day. I buy a loaf of bread almost every week and use it to make sandwiches like bread-butter sandwich, with lettuce,tomato, with green chutney or pudina chutney, with potato curry, bread pakodas and this recipe - Bread upma.
Bread upma is taught to me by my husband, who was taught by my MIL. I've liked it a lot and has become a regular item in my home. When I get bored of the sandwiches and when I want to make something fast and different from usual tiffins, I prepare this dish. It is a very yummy food. You'll love it.

u reminded me of hostel days,..this was one of the frequent snack we used to eat in evening with tea apart from the bread omelet but that recipe was quiet different...maybe ill post one day
This variation is good! My aunt used to make it very simple, yet the toasted feel in pcs of bread n those mild taste of savoury masala used to make it best!
This looks great. my friend is behind me to make this:). will try now.
