How to cook it
-
Cut the bread slices into small cubes and set them aside.
-
Heat the oil in a wide pan over medium heat and let the mustard seeds and cumin seeds pop, then add the curry leaves and green chili.
-
Add the chopped onion and cook until soft, about 3 minutes, then stir in the tomato and turmeric and cook until the tomato softens.
-
Add the bread cubes and salt, and toss gently so every piece picks up the tempering, cooking for 2 to 3 minutes until warmed through and lightly crisp at the edges.
-
Squeeze the lemon over the top, scatter the cilantro, and serve right away while the bread is still crisp.
