BREAD, SEMIYA UPMA

Bread semiya upma can be  made very easily and tasty too.  I had 4 slices of bread and 1/3 cup of semiya lying in the packet.  If I make bread upma, it is not going to be sufficient for two and if semiya that it is also not sufficient.  So decided to mix both these little ingredients available with some veggies, it was sufficient for two for the breakfast.

You can try mix match like we do for cloths,  in food preparation also.  adding vegetables makes it more tastier.
