Bagel Upama !

Ever thought of eating Bagels other than with cream cheese :-)
Well heres a lovely Indian twist to the all time American breakfast favourite...We bought these Garlic and roasted Onion Bagels with Poppy and Sesame seed topping and I thought why not make Bagel upama with it. You can use even plain Bagels to try out this recipe...
Bread upama is quite commonly had as a breakfast dish in India, well now theres Bagel upama to add to your list! :-)
