Bread Upma Recipe | Breakfast Recipes

I can visualise my husbands face once i mention Bread Upma Or Bread Seeyali. If you want me to be more descriptive, imagine a kid’s face if you tell him that its curd rice for lunch in the tiffin box.Did i drive home my point?? Yes! hubby hates bread but me loves bread. But we dont have bread for breakfast. No. That s an unwritten rule in my household. We ll eat it as a snack but not breakfast. But well… like there s an exception to every rule, i make this for breakfast when i wake up at 15 mins past 8. No more no less. If its more than that, then there s no breakfast. If its less than that, then i ll leave the breakfast menu to your imagination. I know hubby scorns it but thats what s breakfast for those 8.15 AM days. Cant help!!
