Hi All! Sorry to see this group is so inactive, and I thought I'd post
to try to break this dry spell.
Today I found a splendid Indian grocery store. (Sorry. It won't do you
UK folks any good, because it is in the Boston, Massachusetts area.)
Not only was it spacious, bright and well-stocked, but it also had a
number of cookbooks! I was just going through the first of four that I
acquired and thought the following sounded somewhat interesting. I
think I'd make sure even a single serving had a nice amount of turmeric
in it. It looks like this would lend itself to many variants!
Bread Bhurji (4 servings)
Healthy Breakfast by Tarla Dalal, pp. 76-77.
10 slices whole wehat bread, cubed
1 c low-fat curds (yogurt)
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp ***in seeds
1 green chile, slit
3-4 curry leaves
1 tsp grated ginger
1/4 c sliced onions
2 tsp oil
salt to taste
1/4 c chopped coriander [cilantro], for garnish
Combine curds, turmeric and salt [not mentioned before] with 2 Tbsps
water and mix well. Add bread cubes and mix well until bread is coated
with curd muxture.
Heat oil in nonstick pan and add ***in seeds. When they crackle, add
the chile, curry leaves, and ginger and saute for a few seconds. Add
onion slices and saute until lightly browned. Add bread and saute over
low heat, stirring occasionally, until the bread browns lightly.
Serve hot, garnished with coriander.
