Bread Upma is an interesting way to spice up plain old bread. Don’t mistake me; I love toast as much as the next person. However, sometimes, the heart craves something different and spicy; and this is where Bread Upma comes in. It is a simple and quick snack or breakfast that is a different way of eating bread. And what is more is that its spicy taste appeals to an Indian Palate. 🙂
