Ingredients

  • 4 slices bread (I used wheat bread)

Instructions

  • Trim out the edges the bread slices(optional, you can use the corners too). For instant use : Toast the bread in tawa until crisp and then pulse it in mixer. Another way is to collect the bread slices in a plastic wrapper and keep it in the freezer for about an hour the bread will become dry then you can pulse it.The way I chose was to toast it in oven - Preheat oven at 180 DEG C for 10 minutes, place the bread slices in the try and bake it 5-7 minutes or until the bread slices turn golden brown.
  • Break the toasted bread slices roughly into pieces and pulse it in mixer as fine as possible. The coarse breadcrumbs will be like fine rava. Store in airtight container on the shelf for few weeks or in the freezer for more shelf life. Homemade breadcrumbs is easy to make and works best for cutlets. You can make it and store so that you can have it handy anytime.

Notes

  • To make flavored or seasoned bread crumbs, toast the bread cubes on a tawa in low heat until golden brown. Cool down and pulse it along with the seasoning of your choice - garlic powder / pepper powder / Italian seasoning / oregano etc.
  • You can even add a teaspoon of butter while toasting.
