Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Prepare the Curd Base

   Add 4 tablespoons of curd to a bowl and whisk it well until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.

2. 2.Add Spices and Herbs to Curd

   To the whisked curd, add 1/2 tablespoon of cumin, 1/2 tablespoon of black pepper powder, 1/2 tablespoon of white sesame, 1/2 tablespoon of chili flakes, 1/2 tablespoon of salt, 1/4 tablespoon of turmeric, and 1 tablespoon of chopped coriander leaves.

3. 3.Mix the Batter

   Thoroughly mix all the added spices and herbs with the curd until a well-combined and uniform batter is formed.

4. 4.Prepare the Bread

   Take bread slices and cut them into your preferred shape, such as triangles, using a knife or kitchen scissors.

5. 5.Heat Oil and Temper Spices

   Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium flame. Once the oil is hot, add 1/2 tablespoon of mustard seeds and 6-7 curry leaves. Let them splutter and release their aroma for about 15-20 seconds.

6. 6.Coat Bread in Batter

   Dip each cut bread slice completely into the prepared curd batter, ensuring both sides are fully and evenly coated.

7. 7.Pan-Fry the Bread Toast

   Carefully place the batter-coated bread slices into the pan with the tempered spices. Cook on one side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until it's also golden and crispy.

8. 8.Serve Hot

   Once both sides are golden brown and crispy, remove the Dahi Bread Toast from the pan. Serve immediately with your favorite chutney, ketchup, or sauce.
