Ingredients: 3 cups chopped bread cubes or 5 to 6 bread slices, chopped in cubes

2 tbsp oil

1 tsp mustard seeds/rai

½ tsp cumin seeds/jeera

1 medium onion, finely chopped or â…“ cup finely chopped onions

1 green chili/hari mirch, finely chopped

¾ to 1 inch ginger/adrak, finely chopped or 1 tsp finely chopped ginger

6 to 7 curry leaves/kadi patta, chopped

2 medium tomatoes, finely chopped or ½ cup finely chopped tomatoes

¼ tsp turmeric powder/haldi

¼ tsp red chili powder/lal mirch powder a pinch of asafoetida/hing (optional)

1 tbsp chopped coriander leaves/dhania patta

Direction:

1. chop the bread slices in cubes.

2. heat 2 tbsp oil in a pan. add 1 tsp mustard seeds and let them crackle and pop.

3. then add ½ tsp cumin seeds.

4. stir and saute till the cumin seeds also crackle and change their color.

5. add â…“ cup chopped onion and stir.

6. on a low to medium flame, saute the onions till they turn translucent.

7. add 1 green chili (finely chopped), 1 tsp finely chopped ginger and 6 to 7 curry leaves, chopped. stir and saute till the raw aroma of ginger goes away. about 10 to 12 seconds.

8. then add ½ cup finely chopped tomatoes. about 2 medium tomatoes, finely chopped, mix well, then add salt.

9. the tomatoes have to be cooked well, otherwise you will feel the rawness in them. there should also be no liquids or moisture in the mixture and it should be slightly dry. otherwise the bread cubes become soggy.

10. add the bread cubes, mix the bread well with the rest of the mixture.

11. on a low to medium flame, saute the bread cubes for 4 to 5 minutes till they become slightly crisp from the edges. this way there is some crispness in the bread cubes on the edges, along with a soft texture in the center of the cubes.

12. then add 1 tbsp chopped coriander leaves. instead of adding coriander leaves at this step, you can also garnish with them, while serving.

13. Serve hot
