Ingredients
  • 5 large / 10 small slices of bread
  • 1 cup plain yoghurt
  • ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • ¼ red or green chilli, chopped (optional: vary the amount depending on how spicy you like your breakfasts...)

  • 1 tsp ginger
  • 1 onion
  • 1 tsp vegetable oil
  • Handful of fresh mint or coriander, to garnish

  2. Cut the bread into large chunks, and mix with the turmeric/yoghurt mixture.
  3. Slice the onion and chop the ginger.
  4. Heat the oil in a frying pan with the cumin seeds, until the seeds crackle.
  5. Add the curry leaves and chilli, if using, and cook for a few seconds.
  6. Add the onion and cook on a low heat until the onion begins to brown.
  7. Add the ginger. Keep stirring.
  8. After 30 seconds, add the bread mixture. Stir occasionally, until the bread browns.
