#2019 - There is an instant solution to any leftover bread. So I made this easy and a delicious upma for a quick, healthy and a wholesome breakfast. They can be relished as it is or with some coconut chutney as accompaniment. They are also a great lunch box meal too. I added some idli podi to the end product to enhance the flavour.
