I have presented the recipe in 2 versions – Masala Bread Upma & Veg Bread Upma for you to try variations. How to make Bread Upma is presented in this post with step by step pictures.
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.

- Also if you dont prefer the masala flavour just ignore the spices and go ahead like the normal upma.In that case you can skip garam masala and add sambar powder.
- Adding tomato sauce gives a nice tangy taste so I prefer adding it. If you dont like the chunky tomato pieces, you can also puree the tomatoes and add it.

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 ?
