BREAD USLI/ UPMA

My sunkissed frame, call it Bread Usli or Upma. A quick and easy recipe to empty any leftover bread. A nice breakfast, tea time snack which is made by tossing in small sized bread pieces along with flavourful seasoning. There are various versions of preparing bread upma, this is what I have learnt from my mother and have been relishing this since childhood days.
