Bread Crumbs Upma

There was lot of left over bread corner pieces in the fridge as I had made sandwiches 2 days back. Since I had stored it in an air tight box, it was quite fresh too. As I was thinking of a some quick recipe for breakfast, this idea of making Upma with fresh bread crumbs came up. Idli Upma was the inspiration behind this Upma. Just included some vegetables and chickpeas to make it a wholesome dish. I just followed my instincts to make this quick dish and am very happy to say that the Upma was indeed very soft and delicious. My family also loved it and so am very excited to share this recipe with you all too:)
