Method-
Soak the toor and chana dals together in enough water to cover the dals along with the red chilli for an hour and grind with minimal water into a coarse batter
-
Add salt and steam it for 10-15 mins till it forms a nice dry and lumpy cake OR Microwave for 2-3 minutes in 30 second bursts, mixing well each time till it starts to look somewhat dry here and there
-
Break into smaller lumps once cool
-
Toast bread till crip and break into tiny bits. Alternatively, finely chop bread slices and roast till crisp with some butter or clarified butter
-
Heat oil and add mustard seeds
-
When mustard stops popping, add urad dal if using
-
Add asafoetida, curry leaves and green chilli (slit through the middle) once urad dal starts turning golden brown
-
Add lentil crumble. Mix well and scrape at the bottom of the pan every other minute, else it will brown too much
-
Add bread bits and toss well
-
Cook for a few minutes till lentil crumble mixes well with bread
-
Serve topped with chopped onions and tomatoes (optional)
