Instructions:

Slice stale bread or toast bread for 2-3 hours or pre-dry for 5 minutes in a 180 degree oven if you have little time.
-
Separate the crust parts of the dried breads with a knife and chop the middle parts into equal cubes of 1cmx1cm.
-
First, add the freshly chopped green spices and garlic paste to the butter you melted in a flat pan, turn it for 15-20 seconds, then add the cubes of bread and sauté, stirring constantly.
-
When the bread turns pink, add the dry spices, turn it 1-2 more turns and turn off the stove. Place the fried spicy croutons on a paper towel and drain excess oil.
-
You can combine this product with soups or salads while it is fresh and hot. If you wish, when you make a lot of it and use it by throwing it in the freezer, sautéing it in a pan without oil will give the same taste. Bon Appetit!

Note: You can mix the same mixture together and bake at 180 degrees.
