Tips for Best Results

  • Use day-old bread for better texture and less sogginess.
  • Toast the bread lightly before adding it to the masala if you prefer a crispier bite.
  • Sprinkle only a little water into the masala to prevent the bread from becoming soft.
  • Toss the bread gently to keep the pieces intact.
  • Garnish with fresh coriander just before serving for the best flavor and freshness.
  • Adjust the spice level according to your taste by increasing or reducing the red chilli powder.
