The usual “UPMA” was getting outdated slowly into our home. Recently, we had bought “mix and buy any two Oroweat Bread” from Costco,US.
We had whole wheat grain and oat nut bread. One whole week we managed them with breakfast.
But since there was still half loaves in each remaining, I decided to do Bread Upma.
Bread Upma..not the usual “idly upma” style. But kinda Paav Bhaaji taste style!!
So lets turn on the heat and get cooking!!
