Bread Upma with Vegetables | Easy Tiffin Recipe

Bread Upma, a delicious and easy to make tiffin item with the leftover bread slices. It's one of my favorite ways to use the leftover bread. I usually make this as an evening tiffin along with some tea. Trust me, this combo is awesome and tastes heavenly. You can make this as breakfast or as dinner too.

Though i call this recipe as Bread Upma, it tastes more like Veg Kothu Parotta. So if you like kothu parotta and want an easy fix or Indian flavored bread recipes then i'm sure that this recipe is for you! Do give it a try and let me know how you like it.

Bread 

You can use any type of savoury bread for this upma. I have used the good old white sandwich bread for today's recipe. But in the past i used whole wheat and other types of breads also and it tasted equally good. 

Vegetables

Personally i like to use capsicum/bell pepper for this upma. Bread and capsicum really go together well. The capsicum flavor truly elevates the taste of this upma. So i highly recommend to use the capsicum.

In addition to the capsicum, i usually add the some carrots and peas. Here in the recipe, i have used frozen peas. If you're using dried peas, make sure to soak and cook till it's soft before adding into this upma.

Ok, Now let's check out how to make this delicious bread upma.

Ingredients

Bread Slices - 4

Onion(small) - 1

Tomato(small) - 1

Carrot (small) - 1

Capsicum - 1/2 cup(chopped)

Frozen Peas - 1/4 cup

Ginger Garlic Paste - 1 tsp

Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp

Procedure

First cut the onion into thin slices, carrot, capsicum and tomato into small pieces. Heat the pan with oil, and add the sliced onions.

Once the onions are translucent, add the ginger garlic paste and saute till it's aromatic then add the carrot, capsicum, peas and  tomatoes. 

Saute the veggies in the oil for about a min and then add the spices(turmeric, red chili and garam masala powder) and salt. Give a quick mix and then cover the pan with the lid and cook the veggies. No need to add any water, the water from the tomatoes is enough to cook the veggies.

In the mean time, cut the bread into small pieces. Once the veggies are cooked, open the lid, add the bread pieces, mix it well so that the masala coats the bread pieces well. Finally add the chopped coriander leaves and then switch off the flame. 

Delicious Bread upma is ready. Serve it with onion raita and some lemon wedges.
