Ingredients
- 5 large slices Wholegrain Multigrain Bread / White Bread
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- ½ teaspoon cumin (jeera) seeds
- 1 teaspoon split urad dal (optional)
- a pinch asafoetida (hing)
- 2 green chili finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon ginger grated
- 1 stalk curry leaves
- 1 medium onion finely chopped
- 1 large tomato finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon red chilli powder
- ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder
- ½ teaspoon garam masala powder (optional)
- salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoon coriander leaves chopped
Instructions
- Toast the bread on low flame in a pan without oil or use a toaster for toasting bread. This step is optional.
- Cut the toasted bread slices into bite-size pieces and keep them ready. I have used multigrain bread for healthier choices. You can use any whole grain or even white bread for this recipe.
- Add oil in a heavy bottom pan, add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, urad dal, and saute for 1 minute until dals start changing color.
- Next, add chopped ginger, green chilies, asafetida (hing), and curry leaves. Saute another 20 secs.
- Followed by finely chopped onions and saute till they are translucent.
- Then add chopped tomatoes, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, salt and cook them till soft.
- Now add in the chopped toasted bread pieces and mix well.
- On medium-low flame cover and cook for 1-2 minutes. When done, switch off the flame.
- Squeeze some lime juice and garnish with coriander leaves and Serve Bread Upma Immediately.
Notes
Tips & Variations:
- Use brown, wheat, or multigrain bread for healthier bread upma.
- You can add peanuts or cashews while tempering, adding crunchiness and richness to the dish.
- I highly recommend toasting or grilling the bread before, this helps to avoid upma from becoming soggy. But if you dont have time to toast, just used the regular bread.
- You can also add some veggies like green peas, carrots, and sweet corn to make it healthy.
