Bread Upma (Write For Us Contest Entry - 49)

Bread Upma is a very easy and simple recipe which can be served as breakfast or evening tiffin. In this upma, I have used plain bread but wheat or multigrain breads can also be used. Variations can be done by adding lots of veggies to make it more delicious and healthy. Simmer the flame for extra couple of minutes after adding bread in this recipe to get them little crispier. Try this quick tiffin and enjoy your breakfast.
