Bread - 6 slices(I used milk bread)
Big Onion - 1 small sized chopped lengthwise
Sweet Corn - 3 tbsp
Carrot - 1 medium sized finely chopped
Green Peas - 3 tbsp
Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
Tomato sauce - 1/2 tbsp
Pepper powder - 1/4 tsp
Coriander Leaves - 1/2 tbsp chopped
Salt - to taste
To temper:
Oil - 1/2 tbspMustard seeds - 1 tsp
Jeera - 1/2 tsp
Curry leaves - a small sprig
Green Chillies - 1 slitted
Method:
- Chop the bread slices into bite sized squares,Set aside.Pressure cook sweet corn,peas and carrot for 3 whistles with very little water,dont drain water...Keep it as such aside.
- In a pan heat oil - add the items listed under 'to temper' let it splutter.Then add onions , fry till transparent then add cooked veggies along with water.Saute for 2mins let it cook till moisture is absorbed completely.
- Add turmeric powder,pepper powder and give a toss then add tomato sauce.
- Give a quick stir, add required salt.Finally add the bread pieces, mix well until the masala coats well.
My Notes:
- Adding vegetables is of your choice.You can add any of your favourite vegetable.You can even make it plain without adding veggies just plain when you are pressed for time.
- Make sure not to drain cooked water to retain the nutrients of the veggies.
- You can add a pinch of sambar powder too for extra flavour.
- You can replace green chillies with 1/2 tsp red chilli powder.
- I used fresh veggies, you can use frozen too....In that case you can just cook it along with onion itself no need to precook it.
- Adding tomato sauce gives a nice tanginess to the upma. You can replace it with lemon juice too.
