Making bread masala

1. Heat oil in a pan and add the ginger-garlic paste.
2. Sauté for some seconds till raw aroma of both ginger and garlic goes away. Keep heat to a low while sautéing the ginger-garlic paste.
3. Then add chopped onions. Mix and then begin to sauté onions on a low to medium heat.
4. Sauté onions till they turn translucent and are softened.
5. Keep the heat to a low and then add the following spice powders: turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin powder and garam masala powder or pav bhaji masala.
6. Mix very well on a low heat taking care that the ground spices do not burn.
7. Then add finely chopped tomatoes and chopped green chillies. Mix well.
8. Season with salt as per taste. Do add less salt as bread also has salt. Mix again.
9. Sauté tomatoes till they become pulpy and soften. You should also see oil releasing from the sides of the onion-tomato masala. Add a few tablespoons water if the tomatoes stick to the pan.
10. When the tomatoes have softened, add the chopped coriander leaves and crushed fenugreek leaves (kasuri methi). Kasuri methi can be skipped if you don’t have it.
11. Mix again and then add the bread cubes.
12. Mix bread cubes very well with the onion-tomato masala and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes. For a crispy texture in the bread you can sauté them for some more time stirring at intervals on a low to medium-low heat. 
13. While serving bread masala drizzle some lemon juice on top. You can even garnish with a few chopped coriander leaves. Serve bread masala hot or warm.
