Bread Upma – Bread Seeyali – South Indian Bread Upma – Left Over Bread Recipes

 Bread upma also known as Bread seeyali in South India is one of the most popular tiffin varieties with leftover bread. Usually I make this bread upma during weekends for dinner and sometimes in the weekdays for my daughter’s snacks box. We like South Indian style bread upma very much. 

Bread upma
Ingredients
  • Bread – 4 slices (Milk or whole wheat. Leftover dry slices )
  • Big onion – 1 no (slice cut or finely chopped)
  • Green chilli – 1 no (finely chopped)
  • Ginger & garlic paste – 1 tsp
  • Curry leaves – a sprig

  • Chana dal – 1 tsp
  • Curry leaves – Few
  • Coriander leaves – to garnish
  • Salt – as required.

Method

  • Take 3 days old bread and check if its not too soft. If the bread is too soft and fresh, you need to toast both sides before cutting into small pieces. If the bread is old, you can cut the  into 4 small squares without toasting. Keep aside.

  • Then add the onion slices, green chilly, ginger garlic paste,curry leaves and saute till onion turns transparent.Add tomato pieces and cook till it turns mushy.

    Hi Chitra, just checked your comment girl. Hope you are doing well there. Yeah, I had a great time visiting every Mall there in B'lore, meeting friends and family. Mysore is still so beautiful, isn't it? Not changed much like B'lore. But did lot of good eating and shopping in B'lore.

    Bread Upma looks yum, never tried it before. See you in Sept. We are busy right now with kids stuff, I will be back in few months, have fun blogging. Hugs! 🙂

    No need to convince me! I love bread and would eat it all the time if I could. Unfortunately, some of your pics didn't load on my computer so I couldn't see the final result but judging from the recipe, this bread upma sounds delicious!
