Bread Upma

This is a good snack for breakfast. I remember i ate it for the first time on my first day at office. I was with a colleague and a little apprehensive of all the new job responsibilities. Then we went to the canteen for a tea break. I decided to try out the bread upma from the menu. I loved it! i couldn't believe you could make anything like this out of bread. The snack did me good, and I got back to work with renewed energy! :) Now I make it regularly for breakfast.

1 onion, chopped

1 tomato, chopped

2 green chillies, chopped
