Bread Upma

This is not south Indian. It's a convoluted home-concocted stuff which is great as a brunch item, evening snack or for school lunches!

Ingredients:
1) 2 slices of (brown, or whole wheat) bread, broken into small bits
2) 1 medium red onion chopped (I personally like chives here, they taste great)
3) 1 very small carrot, grated
4) 1/4 green bell pepper, cut into small strips
5) 1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
6) half a lemon
7) one green chilli, cut into small pieces
8) a pinch of turmeric
9) 1 1/2 tablespoons oil
10) cumin seeds
11) salt.

Method:
1) Heat 1 tablespoon oil. Add cumin. Add onions and fry till pink. Add chopped green peppers and fry till tender. Add carrots. Add the green chillies.
2) Chop the bread slices into tiny tiny pieces and add these pieces.
3) Add the salt, turmeric and cilantro and stir.
4) Finish off with the squeezed lemon.

Note:
You may add other vegetables of your choice, like chopped botatoes, boiled beans, green peas, zuccini, etc.
