Bread Upma

Bread upma is a new way to eat your bread. If you're tired of eating toast and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, try this vegetarian (vegan) breakfast with bread.

Use bread that is 100% whole grain as it usually contains brown rice and barley, and as such provides more protein, fiber, and other nutrients than multigrain bread which has ingredients like refined flour that are bad for you.

Servings: 4

Ingredients

8 slices of white, whole wheat, or whole-grain bread, cut into small cubes
1 1/2 medium onions, finely chopped
5-6 green chillies, finely chopped

Turmeric powder, a pinch

6-7 tsp vegetable oil
1 1/2 tsp chana dal (split bengal gram)
