kadhi paneer is good
One of our favourite upma,simply love it.
I generally add tomatoes and onions and skip the potatoes...it is more moist...Like your version..looks very tempting
I prefer crispy bread over soft and soggy. So this is my style of making bread upma. But as I said if you like soft bread then don't cook more after adding bread.
