Notes

Note:
If you are using leftover sourdough bread, you can skip adding tomatoes to the Bread Upkari recipe. The sourdough bread already adds a tangy flavor to the dish, so omitting the tomatoes will still result in a delicious and flavorful Bread Upkari. Enjoy your unique twist on this GSB Konkani delight!
