My Most Viral Recipe Of The Year ~ Dahi Toast 😍

Ingredients

• 1 cup Thick Yogurt (Curd) (prefer Greek‑style or hung curd for less water)
• ½ tsp Salt (adjust to taste)
• ¼ tsp Turmeric Powder (adds color and subtle earthiness)
• ¼ tsp Red Chili Powder (adjust for heat preference)
• ¼ tsp Black Pepper Powder (freshly ground preferred)
• 1 tbsp Ghee (for tempering; can substitute clarified butter)
• ½ tsp Mustard Seeds (Rai) (adds pungent pop in tempering)
• 1 small Green Chili (finely chopped; remove seeds for less heat)
• 8 pieces Curry Leaves (fresh; adds authentic aroma)
• 2 tbsp Fresh Coriander (Dhaniya) (chopped, for garnish and mixed into yogurt)
• 1 small Fresh Onion (thinly sliced for garnish)
• 6 pieces Bread Slices (white or whole‑wheat sandwich bread, slightly stale works best)
• 2 tbsp Cooking Oil (for shallow frying; can use vegetable, canola or sunflower oil)

2. Prepare Tempering (Tadka)

   Heat a small frying pan over medium heat. Add the ghee, let it melt, then add mustard seeds. When they start to pop, add the finely chopped green chili and curry leaves. Fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

   Time: PT2M

   Temperature: Medium heat

3. Combine Tempering with Yogurt
