Bread Upma

Bread Upma is what we call this all time dish, it usually is liked by all. Some variations and additions have been made by me but the main recipe is the regular one. This normally should be made with stale bread so that it does not become sticky. Ayi made it the best. Fresh bread does not bring out the right taste. So here goes the way I prepared it.....

Ingredients

6 slices of brown whole wheat bread, preferably a day old, broken by hand into very tiny pieces
3 onions chopped into medium sized squares
1 mud sized tomato chopped into small pieces
4 green chillies chopped 
A sprig of curryleaves
Salt to taste
1/2 tspn of sugar
1 ladle of milk
Juice of 1 lime
Chopped coriander and freshly grated coconut for the garnish

Method

in a pan take some oil and add mustard seeds, asafoetida, turmeric powder, now add the chillies, curry leaves, wait for a bit, add the chopped onions, drizzle little salt, saute till golden, add the tomatoes, now add the bread, salt to taste...note that bread already is salty and we added salt to the onions so add carefully, sugar, lime juice and the ladle of milk to give it the softness. stir to mix well, keep for about four to five minutes. transfer to a serving bowl. serve garnished with coconut and coriander. Some people like sev too for garnishing. This is an all time dish, can be eaten anytime of the day.
