Bread Upma, a yummy evening snack for all of us especially for kids. There are many different ways to try out this recipe. I have made it simple. My daughters love to have this yummy bread upma, mainly because of the reason that i will serve this with ketchup :-)). A best after school snack for the children.
How to make Tasty Bread Upma
- Roast the Bread before making Upma : I prefer roasting the bread using ghee and then cut this into small cubes to make the upma (or frying the bread pieces in ghee as i followed in this recipe). This will help to remove the raw smell of the bread and also prevents the bread pieces from turning mushy in the upma.
- Add Tomato paste : You can make tomato paste to create the gravy instead of adding chopped tomatoes. The tomato paste helps to evenly coat the masala in the bread chunks.
- Serve hot : Bread chunks will get mushy if kept for longer time. It's always best to serve it hot for the tasty bread upma.
