Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Prepare the Curd Mixture

   In a bowl, add 1 cup of curd. Then add 1/2 tsp red chilli powder, 1/2 tsp turmeric powder, 1/2 tsp chaat masala, and salt to taste. Whisk well until all the spices are thoroughly combined with the curd.

2. 2.Prepare the Tadka

   Heat 1-2 tsp of oil in a small pan. Add 1/2 tsp mustard seeds, 1/2 tsp cumin seeds, 1/2 tsp urad dal, a pinch of asafoetida (hing), and 5-6 curry leaves. Sauté until the mustard seeds splutter and the urad dal turns light golden brown.

3. 3.Combine Tadka and Onions with Curd

   Pour the prepared tadka into the whisked curd mixture and mix well. Optionally, add 1 small thinly sliced onion to the curd mixture and mix it in. This step is completely optional.

4. 4.Coat the Bread Slices

   Take a slice of brown bread and dip it thoroughly into the curd mixture, ensuring all sides are evenly coated. Repeat for all bread slices.

5. 5.Cook the Dahi Tadka Toast

   Heat a little oil on a tawa or non-stick pan over low flame. Place the coated bread slices on the hot pan. Cook each side for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Flip carefully to cook the other side.

6. 6.Serve

   Once cooked, transfer the Dahi Tadka Toast to a plate. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve immediately.
