If you cannot momentarily forget about how ghee is going to make you fat or increase your cholesterol, then this recipe isn't for you. My aunt loved making this as a breakfast dish when growing up. My uncle, cousin and I used to fight over the amount of bread upma received- yes it is THAT good. I mean, if you can imagine the perfect combination of salt, spice and sweet- the most delicious, appetizing, mouth-watering bread out there- this one will probably be better. This recipe is a dedication to her superb cooking skills:
1 loaf of white bread- chop away the edges of bread for the pure white look & slice each bread into 9 squares
2-3 green chillis sliced (yes it is a spicy recipe! But you can reduce the spice level if you wish!)
A pinch of Hing (asofoetida) (optional)
sugar (to taste)
salt (to taste)
5 tablespoons of ghee
1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
turmeric powder
ginger (optional)
A few Curry leaves
Onion (chopped small)
In a tawa heat ghee, add mustard seeds, turmeric, curry leaves, green chilis onion- then sautee and add ginger, salt, sugar, and hing- add bread slices in the end and mix well. Super short & super quick meal!
