1 tbsp Butter
1 tsp Mustard Seeds
small Curry Leaves
2 piece Green Chilli
1 tsp Asafoetida Powder (Hing)
small Coriander Leaves (chopped)
1 piece Onion (chopped)
1 tbsp Coriander Leaves (finely chopped)
1 piece Tomatoes (puréed)
1 tsp Turmeric Powder
1 tsp Red Chilli Powder
to taste Salt
1 cup Water
1 tsp Lemon Juice
4 piece Bread
1
Start by heating a tablespoon of butter in a pan. Once the butter has completely melted, add the seasoning: 1/2 teaspoon of mustard seeds.
2
Once the mustard seeds begin spluttering, add curry leaves, 2 slit and deseeded green chillies, 1/4 teaspoon of asafoetida, a small amount of coriander leaves, and one finely chopped onion. Stir the mixture, ensuring the onions become translucent without turning brown.
3
Incorporate 1 tablespoon of finely chopped garlic into the pan.
4
Add 1 and 1/2 deseeded, chopped tomatoes to the pan. Mix well and incorporate the seasonings: 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 1/2 teaspoon of red chilli powder, and salt to taste. Continue cooking until the tomatoes are soft.
5
Add 1/2 cup of water and 1/2 lemon's juice to the pan. Allow the mixture to boil until the water has partially dried out, which prevents the bread from becoming too mushy.
6
Add 4 pavs (or approximately 6-8 bread slices) cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Toss everything together until the bread is thoroughly coated with the masala mixture.
7
Add fresh coriander leaves and mix one final time. The dish can be served hot, optionally garnished with sev and additional coriander.
