4. Add the bread pieces and mix/toss well.Add ghee,keep in low flame and cook for two minutes to see golden brown spots here and there in the bread pieces.
 

Notes:

• Add a tsp of garam masala/ kitchen king masala/ biryani masala/ pav bhaji masala for extra punch and flavour to this recipe.
• You can omit tomatoes and add tomato sauce/ketchup.
• Cashew,ghee are optional to enhance the taste.
• You can wheat bread (or multigrain/whole meal bread)instead of white bread.
• I have seen in other blogs using crushed peanuts,so if you like you can add that too in the end.
• Sprinkle a tsp of lemon juice at the end if you want an extra zing.

Garnish with the coriander leaves,serve hot with tomato ketchup or onion raita.
