Bread Masala

Bread masala is a kind of spicy toast. It can be served at breakfast, teatime snack or an appetizer before meals. In Pakistan teatime is an elaborate affair. Snacks are very often served with teas. Usually tea is enjoyed between meals but if a guest turns unannounced tea is served until the meal is prepared. In the morning tea usually light refreshment like biscuits or plain cake slices are served but in evening tea fried items are served. Bread dhokla is an ideal accompaniment for such teas.
