Masala bread upma is classic dish made with leftover breads, assorted veggies like onions, capsicums and carrots, mushrooms, paneer and some spices as per the ingredient list.

This Bread Upma makes a scrumptious breakfast and snack option within some 15 minutes and is a great way to use Leftover Bread that is staple in all kitchens.

Brimming with varied flavors and textures, this Bread Upma is sure going to entice your taste buds. We have added few basic veggies like onion, capsicum to add on the taste…but you can also add tomatoes, beans, carrots, mushrooms, paneer or whatever interesting you can come up with. Also a little amount of ‘Curd’ adds moisture and binds the flavors. This recipe is also perfect to be packed for your kids in school and fits perfectly for little snacking in between the work.

Did you know, a similar dish called ‘Panzanella’ is made in Italy which is basically a chopped salad of toasted bread, tomatoes, onion, parsely tossed together in little olive oil and basically served as a summer dish. I guess… this Upma is the Indian cousin to it.

Yup, the world is so small….!



I prefer to serve Masala Bread Upma with a garnish of chopped onion, fresh coriander, lime juice and some crunchy farsaan. You can top it further with fried/toasted peanuts, tomatoes and some freshly chopped carrot, ginger, capsicum or green chilli if love to eat spicy.

Kids would love to have it with a topping of cheese or some crumbled paneer.

If packing for your kid’s school tiffin, then do not add ‘Tomatoes’ and ‘Curd’ since it would make the upma soggy. Instead pack with some tomato ketchup in a small leak proof box.
