Ingredients Needed for Bread Upma
Bread Slices: 4-5 (Choose between brown or white)
Oil: 1 to 2 teaspoons
Mustard Seeds: 1/2 teaspoon
Curry Leaves: 7-8
Green Chilies: 1-2 (finely chopped)
Onion: 1 (finely chopped)
Tomato: 1 (finely chopped)
Turmeric Powder: 1/4 teaspoon
Salt: To taste
Lemon Juice: 1 teaspoon
Fresh Coriander: For garnish (finely chopped)
Peanuts: A handful (roasted, optional)
Steps to Make Bread Upma
Begin by cutting the bread slices into small squares or tearing them into pieces by hand.
In a non-stick pan or wok, heat a small amount of oil. Once hot, add the mustard seeds. When they start to pop, toss in the curry leaves and chopped green chilies, sautéing for a few seconds.
Next, add the chopped onion and cook until it turns light pink. Once the onion is soft, incorporate the tomato, turmeric powder, and salt. To expedite the softening of the tomatoes, you can add 2-3 teaspoons of water. Cook until the tomatoes are fully softened.
With the masala base ready, add the chopped bread pieces. Stir gently to ensure the bread is well-coated with the masala. Reduce the heat and cover the pan, allowing it to cook for 1 to 2 minutes. This helps the bread absorb the spices and soften.
Finally, turn off the heat, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the dish, sprinkle with roasted peanuts, and garnish with fresh coriander.
Your low-oil, delicious, and healthy Bread Upma is now ready to be enjoyed. Pair it with your morning tea or coffee for a delightful start to your day.
