Bread upma is a  tasty and delicious indian dish made from  bread, onions, tomatoes and spices.  It can be prepared in a jiffy and  served for either breakfast or as a evening snack.  You can use wheat or atta bread or brown bread or multigrain bread to make it more healthier.  You can make bread upma with leftover bread.  If you are using fresh bread, you can make upma alongwith the edges of the bread.  Otherwise you can remove the edges if using old bread or if edges are too hard.

NOTE : You can add vegetables like peas, grated carrot, potatoes or any other vegetable of your choice to make it more nutritious. You can add cashew nuts and ghee to enhance the taste. You can opt for brown bread instead of white bread. If you want crispy bread upma, cook for a little longer while stirring continuously. You can cut bread into small pieces and prepare bread upma, directly instead of grinding them to a fine powder. This is also one option.
