Hi all,

Today I am sharing the basic bread Upma recipe that anyone can cook in just a few minutes. All you need are a few bread slices . You can use spice powders of your choice to make it yummy.

It is perfect to satisfy hunger pangs and can be served anytime of the day.

Vegetable Bread Upma :

Preparation time : 10 minutes
Cooking time : 20- 25 minutes
Serves : 4
1 cup = 250 ml cup

Note : 2-3 days old bread works best. You can use vegetables of your choice 

Ingredients :

12 bread slices ( you can use bread of your choice)
2 teaspoons ghee/clarified butter or oil of your choice ( for toasting the bread)
1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/2 teaspoon Pav bhaji Masala or masala powder of your choice ( you can use channa masala, curry powder, sambar powder, Kitchen King Masala etc)
1 onion ( finely chopped)
2 tomatoes ( roughly chopped)
1/4 cup peas 
1/2 capsicum/green bell pepper ( finely chopped )
1 carrot ( finely chopped)
100 gm paneer/cottage cheese ( cut into small cubes, optional) 
3-4 green chillies ( adjust according to your spice preference)

For tempering :

1 tablespoon ghee or oil of your choice ( adjust )
1 teaspoon mustard seeds 
1 sprig curry leaves ( optional)

For garnish :

Herbs of your choice ( I used finely chopped cilantro/coriander leaves)

Method :

1. In a wide pan or kadai, add ghee and toast the bread over low flame.
2. Keep stirring every few minutes so that they are uniformly toasted.
3. While the bread is toasting, heat another pan with ghee or oil and temper with mustard and curry leaves.
4. Add green chillies, finely chopped onions and salt.
5. Fry till the onions turn transparent.
6. Now add all other vegetables , turmeric powder, masala powder and cook till the extra moisture is absorbed. 
Chef tip : You can add capsicum once the tomatoes turn mushy. 
7. Add paneer and cook for a few minutes till excess water is absorbed. 
Chef tip: OR you can toast the paneer separately and add it as garnish if you want the bread to retain the crunchiness. 
8. Now add the toasted bread pieces and mix well. 
9. Continue to cook , stirring every few minutes till the upma has reached your desired crunchiness. 
Chef tip : For me, this step took 10 minutes over low flame. 
10. Switch off , garnish and serve. 
Chef tip : If you are packing for tiffin/lunch box, then allow it to cool and then pack to avoid the upma  becoming soggy. 

Your bread Upma is now!
