Bread Upma

Ingredients:
crusty bread-1
3 tbsp of yogurt (preferably homemade)
1 small yellow onion,
chopped1 green chilli,
1 tbsp oil
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
1/2 tsp jeera seeds
1/2 tsp chilli powder
a few curry leaves and coriander leaves
salt to taste

Method:

Cut the loaf of bread into 1/2 inch chunks.
Whisk the yogurt to make it smooth. Add some salt to taste. Marinate the bread pieces in it, till you get the other ingredients ready or for 10 mins. This step is what gives the bread upma a very tangy, yummy flavor.
Heat the oil in a pan and add the mustard and jeera seeds. When they pop, add the green chillies, and curry leaves.
Add the onions and saute lightly.
Add the turmeric powder
Add the bread pieces and turn gently to mix well
Add salt and chilli powder to taste
Sprinkle coriander leaves
Notes:
If you use french bread or other similar crusty bread, it stands up very well to the marinade and retains it shape and texture.
The yogurt gets absorbed into the bread, gives it a lot of flavor and also a nice crispy crust if you fry the pieces well
If you don't like yogurt, you can add a little bit of lime/lemon juice
