What do you do with left over bread? Me.. my first pick would be bread Upma. It's quick to make, yummy and more over provides the important meal of the day ,Breakfast. Another bread recipe I like is Bread dosa. Will post it next.

I have half a pack of multigrain bread lying in fridge. Got it out to make sandwich but changed my mind and made this Upma.It can be had as it is.No need of any sides.You can have it with a nice n hot cup of coffee/Tea.You can also have it as a snack in the evening.

You can use any bread for this recipe. I have toasted the bread on pan. You can also toast it in toaster oven and then crumble. Add chopped veggies additionally if you want to. You can add carrots, Peas etc. Adjust the spice and oil according to your taste.
