Bread Poha


I got this recipe from a website years back and cannot recall the name of the website. This is a great recipe if you want to make a quick delicious breakfast. It only take 15-20 minutes to make.


Ingredients:


6 big bread slices cut in 1” squares (brown bread for health conscious guys. I think it does not taste as good if made with brown bread.)
3/4 cup yogurt beaten well (Use non-fat variety if you want to skip exercise today)
1 big tomato finely chopped (core it)
1 teaspoon each of mustard and cumin seeds
½ teaspoon each of turmeric powder and chilli powder (can use less or more depending upon your taste.)



2-4 green chillies finely chopped (please use mirchi based on your taste)
6-10 curry leaves
2 tablespoon oil (less will do fine for health junkies)
Salt to taste (salt substitute for those who desire to live long)
Finely chopped coriander leaves to garnish.



Cooking Method:


1. Soak bread pieces in yogurt for about 4-6 minutes.


2. Heat oil in a pan and toss in the mustard seeds followed by the cumin seeds. Fry till seeds splutter fully. Add curry leaves, chopped green chillies and tomato. Stir fry on medium level for about 2-3 minutes or till the tomatoes are cooked and soft.


3. Add bread, salt, turmeric and chilli powders. Mix well. Cook for 5-8 min. I like to cook until it is quite dry and bread pieces are slightly brown.


4. Garnish with finely chopped coriander leaves. Eat warm with “Garam Chai.”


Enjoy!
