Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices Bread (preferably whole wheat or multigrain)
- 2 tablespoons Oil
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 2 pieces Green chilies (finely chopped)
- 8 leaves Curry leaves
- 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
- 1 medium Tomato (finely chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Cut the bread slices into small bite-sized cubes and set aside.
Heat a large pan or skillet over medium heat and add the oil.
Once the oil is hot, add mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Allow them to sizzle for 30 seconds.
Add the chopped green chilies and curry leaves, and sauté for a few seconds.
Add the chopped onions and cook until they turn translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften, about 3-4 minutes.
Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, salt, and sugar. Mix well to combine all the spices.
Add the bread cubes to the pan and gently toss them to coat with the spice mixture. Ensure the bread is evenly mixed without breaking it too much.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the bread cubes are slightly crispy and the flavors have melded together.
Turn off the heat and sprinkle the chopped coriander leaves and lemon juice over the bread poha. Mix gently.
Serve the bread poha hot and enjoy it as a satisfying breakfast or snack.
