Bread Upma just like the Sooji Upma can be fortified with veggies like tomatoes, carrots, green peas, and onions. Protein Power: Peanuts or cashews are another classic addition that gives a really awesome crunch and heaps of plant-based protein! They add nutrition that keeps you fuller longer and fueled up for the day. It’s a great recipe for using up days-old bread and those odds and ends of produce in the fridge! This is a great way to curb food waste. My homemade Indian Inspired Stuffing accompanied a Whole Roasted Tandori Chicken and plenty of other festive sides. And you know what?? SUCCESS!!

What Kind of Bread Should I Use?

Any kind of soft American White Bread that’s a few days old or just passed fresh is ideal. I prefer Arnold’s Country White Bread for Bread Upma. However, this recipe is all about using what you have. If you have a leftover loaf from the farmer’s market or half a loaf of sliced bread from the week–go for it. Just be mindful that you do not want to use anything too tough, or a crust that would be too hard to chew. In that case–trim the crust first.
