Bread Masala

Ingredients

• Bread - 6 slice
• Onion - 3 whole
• Tomato - 2 whole
• Red chili powder - 1/2 tsp
• Coriander powder - 3/4 tsp
• Pepper powder - 1 1/2 tsp
• Vegetable masala powder - 1 tsp
• Mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp
• Ghee - 4 tbsp
• Coriander leaves
• Salt, to taste

Instructions

1. 1Remove the crusts from the bread and cut each slice into square pieces; set the pieces aside.
2. 2Chop the onions and tomatoes so they are ready to cook.
3. 3Heat 2 tbsp ghee in a wide pan over medium heat. Add the bread pieces and fry them until they are light brown and crisp at the edges; this is just like toasting bread.
4. 4Transfer the fried bread to a plate and leave the remaining ghee in the pan for the masala.
5. 5In the pan with the remaining ghee, splutter the mustard seeds, then add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn brown.
6. 6Add the chopped tomatoes and sauté until the mixture is well combined and the tomatoes have softened.
7. 7Stir in the red chili powder, coriander powder, and vegetable masala powder; when the raw smell disappears, add the pepper powder and salt, and stir well.
8. 8Return the fried bread pieces to the pan and toss gently so they soak up the masala; turn off the heat.
9. 9Garnish with coriander leaves and serve immediately.
10. 10Optional: serve warm with a cup of tea.
