- Cut the bread into 2.5cm (1in) square pieces. Heat the oil in a flat bottomed pan and add the cumin seeds. Once they start turning brown, add the chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.
- Toss in the green chilli pieces, parboiled vegetables and add the turmeric powder. Now add the cut bread pieces and sprinkle the chilli powder and salt evenly.
- Toss the contents in the pan and sprinkle little water and allow it to cook on medium flame for about 5-6 minutes, until the bread pieces become golden and crusty. Put off the flame, add the fresh lemon juice and coriander leaves. Serve hot.
