I couldn't resist this recipe for Masala Bread when we saw it on Coffee's blog a little while ago, so we duly bookmarked it and put it on our list of things to try.

The way we normally work with online recipes is to print out a copy when we want to try it. We then stick it on the refrigerator with a magnet while we are cooking, and when we are done, we make annotations directly onto the printed sheet. If it turned out not so great - or if we just didn't particularly like it - it usually ends in "File 13." On the other hand, if we did like it, it goes into our folder filled with other recipes printed from online sources, categorized by type.

If we really, really liked it, it goes right in the front of the folder, along with a handful of other favorites.

Well, a few days ago we had a build-up of bread that was a couple of days old; not really appealing for sandwiches, but still perfectly fine otherwise: the perfect conditions to try out "Breakfast at The Spice Café!"

We followed the recipe pretty much as written, and boy, was this finger-lickin' good! We served it with homemade ginger chutney, and we couldn't keep our plates filled; even the picky six year-old kept asking for more.

When we do it again, we would most definitely make the recipe at least double, if not more. This is very light, and would be best if it was not the only item on the table - unless of course the object is to have a very light meal.

This is the kind of recipe that has such great basic structure that one can endlessly improvise on it; we look forward to doing just that in future. Thanks Coffee for a wonderful addition to our permanent recipe folder - no need to say that it is right in the front among the favorites.
