Ingredients

9 lightly toasted bread slices, cubed

1 tbsp ghee

10 cashew nuts split

2 tbsp oil

½ tsp mustard seeds

A few curry leaves

1 green chilli, finely chopped

1 ½ inch piece ginger, crushed

¼ tsp turmeric powder

½ tsp chilli powder

½ tsp coriander powder

¼ tsp ground pepper

2 med size onions, chopped (into squares)

1 med size tomato, chopped (into squares)

½ tsp cumin seeds

2 tbsp tomato sauce

3 tbsp water

½ tsp salt

2 tsp lemon juice

6 tbsp chopped coriander

Procedure

1. Lightly toast the bread slices and then cut them into medium-size cubes.
2. Then, in a non-stick pan, lightly toss the cashew nuts in the ghee till they’re golden brown. Remove them to a small bowl
3. To the same pan, add the oil. When it’s hot enough add the mustard seeds and let them splutter. Then throw in a few curry leaves and the chopped green chilli. Sauté this for a few seconds and then add the crushed ginger. Sauté everything for a few seconds more.
4. After this, we’ll add some dry spices. Add the turmeric powder, chilli powder, and coriander powder. If you don’t have coriander powder, add a ¼ tsp garam masala, or skip this ingredient altogether. Then add the ground pepper. Toss all the spices in the oil for a few seconds.
5. Next, add in the chopped onions. The onion should be chopped into medium-size, square-shaped pieces. Sauté the onions till they soften.
6. Add in the tomato chopped into medium-size pieces. Sauté everything till the tomato is cooked.
7. Then add in the cumin seeds. Toss the mixture again for a few seconds and add the tomato sauce, water, salt, and lime juice. Mix everything well.
8. Add in the bread cubes, and toss them well with the masala ingredients.
9. Finally, add the fried cashew nuts and the chopped coriander, and mix everything again well. The bread upma is now ready.

Enjoy!
