suggestions for make this recipe too delicious: 1.Use ghee/butter for sauteging the onion and bread toasting..it will increase the taste & aromatic flavour for this recipe. 2.Add ginger garlic paste instead of chopped ginger..Bcz most of the kids don't like the chopped ginger. 3.In final step, add 2tsp of brown sugar/normal sugar for yummy taste.
