Bread upma recipe – Easy breakfast,snack or even lunch box idea for your kids with bread as main ingredient and other easily available ingredients.
My kid is not a big fan of bread upma,he prefers other snacks using bread than this bread upma. But I love any upmas. Bread upma is a real treat too for me. This is a good tea time snack for kids.You can make it in a jiffy when the are in real hunger. Will post my kid’s favorite bread snacks in recent future, as he has got holidays now.
Bread Upma recipe
Recipe Cuisine: Indian | Recipe Category:Breakfast
Prep Time: 5 mins | Cook time: 15 mins | Serves: 2
Prep Time: 5 mins | Cook time: 15 mins | Serves: 2
Ingredients
Bread slice – 4
Onion – 1
Tomato – 1
Green Chilli – 2
Sambar powder – 3/4 tsp
Turmeric powder – 1/8 tsp
Ginger garlic paste (optional) – 1/2 tsp
Salt – 3/4 tsp
Curry Leaves – 1 sprig
Coriander leaves – To garnish
Ghee – 1 tsp
To temper
Oil – 1 tbsp
Mustard – 3/4 tsp
Urad dal – 1 tsp
Chana dal – 1 tsp
Cashew nuts(optional) – 4
Method:
- Cut the bread slices into bite size squares. Slice the onion,green chillies and chop tomato.
- Heat a pan with oil and season with the items given under the ‘To Temper’ table(I omitted cashews).Fry onions till transparent and add the ginger garlic paste and fry for a minute.
- Add tomatoes,salt and fry till tomatoes turn soft. Add turmeric and sambar powder and stir well. Sprinkle some water.
- Add the bread pieces and mix/toss well.Add ghee,keep in low flame and cook for two minutes to see golden brown spots here and there in the bread pieces.
Notes:
- Add a tsp of garam masala/ kitchen king masala/ biryani masala/ pav bhaji masala for extra punch and flavour to this recipe.
- You can omit tomatoes and add tomato sauce/ketchup.
- Cashew,ghee are optional to enhance the taste.
- You can wheat bread (or multigrain/whole meal bread)instead of white bread.
- I have seen in other blogs using crushed peanuts,so if you like you can add that too in the end.
- Sprinkle a tsp of lemon juice at the end if you want an extra zing.
Garnish with the coriander leaves,serve hot with tomato ketchup or onion raita.
