Should I toast bread for upma?

Toasting bread is optional but gives amazing flavor to the upma.  I have toasted bread in a bread toaster instead you can toast the bread in a pan or bake the bread or grill the bread.

What kind of bread should I use for the Indian upma recipe?

In our home, I generally buy whole wheat or multigrain bread so I use it for my upma recipe. You can use white bread or any bread of your choice

Why should I toast the bread while sauteing tomatoes?

I like the flavor of crunch bread in my bread upma and if you toast the bread while sauteing tomatoes, upma tastes the best with a slight crunch.

Can I skip ginger garlic paste?

Yes, if you don't like ginger-garlic flavor skip it.

Alternative for kitchen king masala?

You can use gram masala/ biryani masala / paneer masalq or any other masala instead of kitchen king masala.  You can also prepare masala upma without any masala

Should I cut toasted bread into squares?

In our home, we like masala bread in this way for Mumbai street style upma you can also pulse and prepare upma.

What tastes best with bread masala?

Masala bread tastes best on its own. You can also serve upma with raita varieties or ketchup. upma tastes best when served immediately
