Veg Bread Upma

I have a memory card full of snaps of my creations.I am cooking and clicking but the posting doesn't seem to be happening. Just checked out Divya's Dil Se...post and realised today is the last day for entry to her "Show me your Breakfast", so i thot, why not start right now. So I just clicked today's breakfast and am posting my first recipe and joining in the first event all at once...yipeeeeeeeee!!

Bread Upma was chanced upon on a wednesday at Room No.53, Ladies Hostel, Pondy by a bunch of hungry girls after having finished the eggs for bfast but not able to chew on the hard bread. somebody said lets tear it into pieces, somebody said lets heat it, another said let add some onions and we made something not only edible but delicious to the taste starved hostel souls and since then wednesdays were awaited eagerly.

This version is of course a long way away from our first discovery, but that's the beauty of cooking....i got an idea of a variation as i was cooking the upma this morning.

Anyways, here goes the recipe:
