It is something which is mostly available in everybody's home. Its a simple dish to make and a snack which you can have at any time of the day.
In my school days, one of my friend used to bring bread upma for her lunch and i got the first taste of this tangy bread from that time.I have tried it in my way to make it really good.This is the dish i usually make it when i dont think of anything else when i am hungry.
