Nice. I’ve eaten this many times, but never tried making it. Sounds easy and delicious.

Bread Upma is my fav evening tiffin. This is a different recipe with butter milk.

Ok - I tried this for breakfast yesterday - but it became all mushy and turned it one soggy, sorry mess

Any suggestions? How dilute should the buttermilk be?

Hi friends, Very happy to see your comments. Thank you so much.

Hi Apu, Thanks for your interest and we will sure come with a lot of recipes and upgrades. Regarding the upma, the buttermilk has to be thick and bread has to be dipped not more than 5 minutes. Try it in a wide non-stick vessel and if you find it sticky, add a tsp of oil and butter and mix it slowly. Separate the pieces while mixing. Even for me the result was not great in the first time. You will definitely get it this time.

Nithu,

I’m afraid you forget to mentioned when to add Lemon juice in your receipe. I presume it should be added when we add tomatoes, green chillies and salt.

I shall try this to pleased my wife!!!
