Ingredients

  • 3 slices bread cut into small pieces
  • 1 egg I used country eggs
  • 1 big onion medium sized chopped finely
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper powder
  • salt to taste

To Temper:

  • 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon urad dal
  • 1/4 teaspoon jeera
  • 1 green chilli slitted
  • a tiny pinch hing
  • few curry leaves

Instructions

  • Chop the bread slices into small squares,Set aside.
  • Heat oil in a pan – add the items listed under ‘to temper’ let it crackle then add onion and saute till it turns transparent.
  • Then add egg and scramble it.
  • Once it becomes nicely scrambled, add salt and pepper powder.
  • Mix well then add bread and give a quick mix and toast for 2mins.
  • Cook covered for a minute and switch off.
  • Seve hot!

Notes

  • Make sure to cook covered for a minute at least so that bread absorbs the flavour and becomes soft.
  • You can even add any veggie along with eggs, like carrot, greens, cabbage etc.
  • Pepper is must for this stir fry..
  • I am buying country eggs these days so used that. You can use normal white egss too.
  • Adding more onions gives a nice crunch and flavour.
  • If you are planning to make for kids you can skip green chillies and replace it with little more pepper powder.
  • Add a pinch of garam masala and coriander powders for making masala egg upma. After egg is added, keep stirring and fluffing.
  • After bread is added make sure to toast it well along with eggs.
