I usually have parathas for my breakfast. But on weekends when I wish to eat something different, this is one such recipe which is actually poles apart from the parathas – The Bread Masala. In English it would be called as Spiced Bread.

Like all my other recipes, even this bread masala is very easy and simple to make. All we have to do is prepare a tadka of onion and tomatoes, mix in some spices and add in the bread. You need to cut the bread into small pieces, squares I prefer.

I have also added in some green peas. To make the bread soft and a bit moist we need to sprinkle some water. This we would do at the end. And by sprinkle I really mean just sprinkling few drops of water. If you add more water the bread pieces would break and would get mashed.
