Bread Poha is a quick, flavourful dish made with bread, spices, and simple ingredients.

Ingredients (Serves 2)

• 4 slices of bread (white or wholemeal), cut into bite-sized cubes
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 medium tomato, chopped
• 1 green chilli, finely chopped (optional, for heat)
• 1/2 tsp mustard seeds
• 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
• 1/4 tsp red chilli powder (optional)
• Salt, to taste
• 1 handful fresh coriander, chopped
• 1 tsp lemon juice (optional)

Method

1. Prepare the bread

• Cut the bread into small cubes and set aside.

2. Heat the oil and temper the mustard seeds

• Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
• Add the mustard seeds and let them crackle for a few seconds.

3. Sauté the onion

• Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until soft and translucent.
• If using, stir in the green chilli and sauté for 1 minute.

4. Add the tomatoes and spices

• Toss in the chopped tomatoes, turmeric powder, red chilli powder (if using), and salt.
• Cook for 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes soften and break down into a sauce.

5. Mix in the bread

• Add the bread cubes to the pan and gently mix to coat them with the spiced mixture.
• Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the bread is lightly toasted and absorbs the flavours.

6. Garnish and Serve

• Turn off the heat and sprinkle fresh coriander on top.
• Add a squeeze of lemon juice for a bright, tangy finish (optional).
