If you are really bored with sandwich or bread toast or French Fry, just try this South Indian touchy Bread Upma. A wonderful breakfast, very flavorful and it cooks in jiffy. In my school days, my mom oftenly made this dish in my lunch box and she also loved this toothsome dish very much. Since then, I am foodie...:) Bread upma tastes best if you use a day or two old bread (or stale bread), which is little hard and dry - a spiced, a stir fried bread dish. So, lets get started.
