Bread Poha / Upma

Bread Poha reminds me so much of Bread Stuffing made during Thanks Giving to serve as one of the main side dishes. The only difference is that it is curried instead of poultry seasonings.
Another similarity if I have to choose is, it resembles the Italian Salad that is made with left over stale bread, known as Panzanella. Again, the only difference is that it is seasoned with Indian spices and not Italian.
Bread Poha is a hearty and filling brunch or breakfast dish, very popular in Indian households. I would suggest that it can be easily packed for lunch and can be a quick week night dinner, piled up with some more veges and some protein. Can you beat its versatility?
Do read the foot notes at the bottom to get it right. The bread that you use matters. I have landed up with bread mess many times, when I used fresh bread. So, yes…stale bread is the answer to a sturdy texture of the dish.
This is how I made it!
Enjoy making this poha for your family and friends this weekend.
