A common feature in Maharashtrian-style bread upma or bread chivda is the finely chopped bread pieces. Almost like cornflakes! Follow the same recipe and steps given below. In addition to the ingredients in the recipe below, you can add finely chopped tomatoes, a pinch of asafoetida powder, dry red chilies, and roasted peanuts to get the authentic Maharashtrian flavor. If you like the bread upma to be soft, cook only until the bread is heated through - say for 3 to 4 minutes. If you want the final texture of the bread to be crispy, continue to saute for a longer duration.
