#breadforbreakfast#bread#varietybreakfast#breadchooda#breadchura

Ingredients: 5- 6 medium slices of bread, 1 small chopped onion, 1 tomato chopped, 4-5 curry leaves, ½ cup peas, 1 tsp sugar, salt to taste, 1 tsp mustard seeds, 1 small tbsp oil, 2 tsp white urad dal/ lentils, 1 chopped green chilli, 1 tsp red chilli powder

Preparation time: 15 min

Recipe:

1.     Cut the slices of the bread into squares of 1.5x1.5 cm each. Easy way to do this is to take 2- 3 slices at a time piled up. Make 4 horizontal cuts and 4 vertical cuts at equidistance. Squares are ready. You can as well crush the bread slices to small granules or churra.

2.     Take a deep pan. Heat it, add oil. Heat the oil, when ready for seasoning add mustard seeds and urad dal. Wait till the lentils turn golden (be careful or they will blacken quickly). Add curry leaves and green chilli.

3.    Add onion and peas. Cook till color changes. Add tomato and cook till they shrink. Then add the bread squares and all the remaining ingredients. Mix well and cover with lid. Allow to cook on low gas for 2-3 minutes.

4.    Garnish with coriander and Serve it hot!

Tips: If the churra is too dry, before covering it with lid, sprinkle some water or add a tsp of curd to it.
