Ingredients:
- 12 thick slices whole wheat bread, cut into 1/2-inch dice (about 15 cups)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 large onion, halved crosswise and sliced
- 2 jalapeños, seeded and finely chopped
- Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/3 cup plain whole milk yogurt, stirred until smooth
- 2 medium tomatoes, finely chopped
- 1 medium European cucumber, peeled and cut into small dice
- Juice of 1/2 lime
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 190 °C. Place the diced bread pieces evenly on a baking sheet and bake for about 6 to 7 minutes or until they are crisp on the outside. Take them out of the oven.In a large skillet, warm up the vegetable oil. Add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds and cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 1 minute. Put in the onion and jalapeños, sprinkle some salt, and cook, stirring from time to time, until the onion becomes soft but not browned, which should take around 8 minutes. Stir in the cayenne pepper and yogurt. Then, add the toasted bread and gently mix with the dressing. Mix in the tomatoes, cover the skillet, and cook until the bread softens, usually for 4 to 5 minutes. Carefully fold in the cucumber and lime juice, season with salt again. Serve the salad by spooning it onto individual plates.
