This is a very tasty and delicious snack / breakfast that can be make in a few minutes.
This dish is prepared whenever there is excess bread lying in the refrigerator. This recipe is a great way to use any kind of excess bread or the side slices of bread. I usually make this Upma with the side slices of the bread which is mostly left as they do like it toasted or in sandwiches. Collect these in a zip lock bag and freeze it, when there are about 14 to 16 slices I defrost them and cut them in small cubes. Whenever kids are bored of bread toast and sandwiches make this bread upma for a quick snack, breakfast or tiffin they will enjoy it.
