Instructions:

Toast the Bread: Begin by toasting the bread slices. You can use a toaster or a skillet for this. Once toasted, spread softened butter on each slice.

Cut the Bread: Once the bread is buttered, cut it into small cubes and set aside.
-
Cook the Spices and Vegetables: In a large wok or kadai, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and let them crackle. Next, add the sliced onions and chopped green chilies. Sauté until the onions are soft and tender.
-
Add Tomatoes and Spices: Add the chopped tomatoes, curry leaves, turmeric powder, and sambar powder to the wok. Stir well and cook the tomatoes until they soften slightly.
-
Combine the Bread: Add salt to taste and the toasted, buttered bread pieces. Mix everything thoroughly to ensure the bread is coated with the spices and has absorbed the flavors. Stir fry on medium to high heat for a couple of minutes, ensuring the bread is nicely seasoned and slightly crispy.
-
Finish with Fresh Herbs: Stir in the chopped coriander leaves for a burst of fresh flavor.
