Frequently Asked Questions

Expand All:

Why should I cut off the bread edges?

This helps the bread absorb the sauce better and creates an even texture.

Can I use store-bought chilli paste?

Yes, but homemade paste gives a fresher, more authentic taste.

How do I prevent the bread from getting soggy?

Toast it well before adding it to the sauce, and mix just before serving

What kind of bread works best?

White or multigrain bread works best for absorbing flavors.

Can I skip the corn flour slurry?

It helps thicken the sauce, but you can reduce the water instead.

Can I bake the bread instead of toasting it?

Yes! Bake at 180°C for 10-12 minutes for a crispy texture.

Is this dish too spicy for kids?

You can reduce the green chilies and chilli paste for a milder version

Can I add other vegetables?

Absolutely! Bell peppers, carrots, or even mushrooms work great.

Can I store leftovers?

It’s best eaten fresh, but you can store it in the fridge for a day and reheat before serving
