Bread upma

Here's a quick bread and egg brunch recipe from Biju which is very tasty and easy to prepare on those lazy late weekend mornings. It is inspired by upma - a popular South Indian breakfast dish. Give it a try!

Ingredients

Serves 2

1/3 baguette - preferably a day or two old sour dough loaves, cut into small cubes
2 eggs
1 medium size onion, chopped
1 green chilli, chopped
1 big sized tomato, cut into small cubes

1 small carrot, finely grated

3 mushrooms, sliced (we used champignons)

½ teaspoon finely minced ginger

¼ teaspoon cumin seeds

¼ teaspoon black mustard seeds

Salt to taste
1 tablespoon oil
Coriander or parsley leaves to garnish 

Preparation method

1. Beat the eggs in a small bowl.

2. Heat oil in a pan and temper cumin and mustard seeds. Add chopped onions, green chilli, mushrooms, tomato, carrot and ginger and sauté for 2 minutes. Add salt and stir well.

3. Add bread cubes and fry the mixture for 2 more minutes.
4. Pour the beaten eggs over the ingredients and briskly stir fry on low heat for 3 minutes.
5. Garnish with coriander or parsley leaves

Serve hot in all your morning dishevelled glory :) Finish off with a banana smoothie.
