Masala Bread - 1

This is one more of those “Easy to make” dishes of pachi. A good dish for a breakfast. Its very healthy too with the vegetables. Instead of the tomato, onion mixture which I have mentioned below. Previous days left over subjis also can be used. Beleive me it gives a different taste.

Ingredients: Bread slices 5 Onions 2 Tomato 1 Chilli powder 1 tea spn Egg(Optional) 1 Cream 1 tea spn Rava(Sooji) or Bread crums 2 tbl spns Garam masala 1 tea spn Coriander leaves 4-5 strands Butter/ghee 1 tbl spn Salt

Method: Mix finely chopped onions, finely chopped tomatoes, finely chopped coriander leaves, chilli powder, garam masala, egg(optional), cream, Rava(or bread crums) and Salt. Take one tbl spn of the above mixture and apply to bread (on only one side), keep ½ tea spn of ghee or butter on it and fry on tava(the side having masala should be facing down). After 2-3 minutes, turn the bread. Fry for 2 more minutes. Serve hot with tomato sauce.

Serves : 2 Preparation time : 15min

Masala Bhaji - 2

My grand mother(amma as we called her, aayi’s mother) used to prepare this bhaji. She was very innocent and a lovely lady. She was a great cook. Most of my summer holidays were spent at her home at Sirsi. Every time we visited her, she would get all excited and start preparing all her signature dishes for her. Many of her dishes have become very regular in our home now. They are so good that even people tasting it for the first time have fallen in love with them. This Masala Bhaji or sukki(dry) bhaji is one of them. I have prepared this for many of my friends and it is always a hit. Amma used to make it very spicy, but still all of us loved it. I now make it very less

We love you amma, wherever you are, we all miss you. May your soul rest in peace.
