Bread Upma is a popular and savoury Indian dish with bread slices and a flavorful mix of spices and vegetables. It's a quick and easy recipe, often enjoyed for Indian-Style breakfast or as a snack.
Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds, urad dal, and curry leaves. Allow them to splutter, releasing their flavours into the oil. Add cashews and sauté till they turn golden brown.
Add finely chopped onions and cook until the onions become golden brown, on medium heat.
Crush ginger and green chillies together. Add them to the cooked onions.
Add finely chopped bell pepper and frozen/boiled green peas to the mixture and cook until they soften and blend well with the other ingredients.
Sprinkle salt, turmeric powder, and sugar. Mix well to ensure an even coating of the spices.
Cut the bread into bite-sized bread cubes and add them to the pan. Gently mix to coat the bread pieces with the flavorful mixture.
Add two tablespoons of water and let them cook for 2 or 3 minutes.
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and some lemon juice if desired.
Bread Upma is best enjoyed hot. It can be served on its own or with tomato ketchup, chutney and hot tea/coffee.
