Bread upma is a simple and easy recipe for your busy schedule which can be served as a breakfast. It is a great way to use up leftover bread. Literally you need 15-20 minutes to make this dish. I recommend to toast the bread first. Otherwise the bread slices may turn soggy. You can also add veggies like green peas, beans or carrots.

6 slices bread
1 onion finely chopped
2 medium size tomato finely chopped
2 green chillies chopped
1 tsp ginger chopped or grated
½ tsp mustard seeds
½ tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp chilli powder
3 tbsp chopped coriander leaves
2 tbsp oil
