Masala bread - My Mom's recipe

I never used to eat bread when I was a kid, but except for this masala bread which my mom makes for evening snacks , which I used to eat before I leave for tuitions in the evening. Just the thought and flavor of that masala bread is mouth watering. This is a good one for snacks. The masala that we are going to make is very similar to coconut chutney.

Ingredients:

Coconut- grated 1 cup
Green chillies- 3-4 (based on your spice level).
turmeric- 1 pinch
salt to taste
saunf /Fennel - 1/2 spoon.
Chutney dhal - 1 spoon.

Bread slices
Oil/ghee to toast the bread

Method:
Grind all the above ingredients (coconut, green chilies, turmeric,salt,saunf,chutney dhal) to a paste with water.

transfer this to a wide plate and mix water so that the consistency is good for basting the bread slices. Now heat the tawa with a drop of oil, dip the bread slices in the masala on both sides and place it on the tawa and put oil/ghee around the bread slices and toast the bread slice on both sides until it is brown and masala is cooked.

Note: Quickly dip the bread in the masala. More you dip the bread will become soggy.

Serve this hot , it is a good snack for the evening.
