Bread Upma

With the reopening of school, all mother's have a tough time with demanding children asking them to make dishes that they see their classmates carry in the tiffin :).  Today , I will share with you a simple Upma recipe which is made from bread.

If your children are bored of eating bread toast / sandwiches, this is a very tasty and delicious breakfast that can be made in a few minutes time. It can be prepared with left over bread also.

Bread Upma is one of the peppiest ways to have bread! Although it is a great way to use up leftover bread, I get the fresh bread to just make this Upma :).  You will definitely enjoy the unique texture of this Upma, which can be had as a breakfast or evening snack.

All the ingredients would be readily available at home... So do try this out and bring a smile to your children's face!
