Bread upma is a quick recipe that would need only 15 minutes to prepare. Once your vegetables are done along with the tempering, you add roughly chopped bread slices, and the upma will be ready in no time.

If you want to experiment with broken wheat (dalia), you can make upma with it. This recipe has the nutrition of dry fruits and vegetables. Moreover, dalia is loaded with dietary fibre, which is good for your gut health.
