Bread Upma – A very humble dish that you can make it in a jiffy, to make it wholesome I added some vegetables. It was a very appealing and colorful bowl of bread upma for breakfast. I was running like an headless chicken from morning that I couldn’t make the post any earlier but glad that I could make it atleast by today. I am partial when it comes to bread, anything with bread is a winner to me and that justifies a separate page for bread recipes…:)

Recipe Category: Main | Recipe Cuisine: Indian
Bread – 6 slices(I used milk bread)
Big Onion – 1 small sized chopped lengthwise
Sweet Corn – 3 tbsp
Carrot – 1 medium sized finely chopped
Green Peas – 3 tbsp
Turmeric powder – 1/4 tsp
Tomato sauce – 1/2 tbsp
Pepper powder – 1/4 tsp
Coriander Leaves – 1/2 tbsp chopped
Salt – to taste
To temper:
Oil – 1/2 tbsp
Mustard seeds – 1 tsp
Jeera – 1/2 tsp
Curry leaves – a small sprig
Green Chillies – 1 slitted
Method:
- Chop the bread slices into bite sized squares,Set aside.Pressure cook sweet corn,peas and carrot for 3 whistles with very little water,dont drain water…Keep it as such aside.
- In a pan heat oil – add the items listed under ‘to temper’ let it splutter.Then add onions , fry till transparent then add cooked veggies along with water.Saute for 2mins let it cook till moisture is absorbed completely.
- Add turmeric powder,pepper powder and give a toss then add tomato sauce.
- Give a quick stir, add required salt.Finally add the bread pieces, mix well until the masala coats well.
Garnish with coriander leaves while serving.Serve hot!
My Notes:
- Adding vegetables is of your choice.You can add any of your favourite vegetable.You can even make it plain without adding veggies just plain when you are pressed for time.
- Make sure not to drain cooked water to retain the nutrients of the veggies.
- You can add a pinch of sambar powder too for extra flavour.
- You can replace green chillies with 1/2 tsp red chilli powder.
- I used fresh veggies, you can use frozen too….In that case you can just cook it along with onion itself no need to precook it.
- Adding tomato sauce gives a nice tanginess to the upma. You can replace it with lemon juice too.

I love bread upma too–so much so that I'm sometimes tempted to make bread upma with fresh bread,rather than eat it as is 🙂 Love the addition of vegetables!
Healthy and delicious upma 🙂

Healthy bread upma! I love this. I make this often too as it is everybody's favourite.
I tried to make this. But, my bread became very soggy within 30 mins of preparation. I did made sure all the water from the vegetables and sauce were fully evaporated before i add the bread. I used the Whole wheat bread. Can you tell what i might have done wrong ?
I tried this recipe..Came out really well..Tomoto sauce gave a real punch to this dish.. Loved it..
I have tried Rava upma but this recipe is very new to me. bread upma looks delicious!
