Bread Poha - my anytime food

Bread Poha is my all time anytime food... its easy to make and fills ur tummy and doesn't need any big fact ingredient list to make it.

people who know me, will say that i always have the mood  to eat something. my favourite line is "mujhe kuch khana hai" (translated - i want to eat something). this something generally doesn't have a name or a food item associated with it. but over the years the time to decide what that something should be has shortened.
Why i am writing this is to give the context of why bread poha is so important to me. if you haven't figured it out, bread poha ends up being my something a lot of times.

Ingredients:
bread
onion
jeera/cumin seeds

Masala:
Haldi
Mirchi

Optional:
Tomatoes
Garam Masala
Dhaniya powder

Preparations:

  1. Take some oil and heat it in a pan
  2. Add jeera and roast it
  3. Add haldi, mirchi, garam masala and dhaniya powder, haldi more, others less
  4. Add onions and roast them till golden brown
  5. Break the bread - rough or cut squares on bread
  6. Mix it with the onions 
  7. Add salt, not too much cause bread already has its own taste
  8. Mix properly... cook till the bread is crisp
  9. Its ready to be served
Tips:
  1. Tomatoes add a tingy taste to the bread poha. i dont like it so i dont add it
  2. Experiment with the flavours, can add chillies.
