For 4 servings
Prepare the Bread: Tear the bread slices into rough, bite-sized pieces, about 1-inch squares. Set aside.
Sauté Aromatics: Heat oil in a wide pan or kadai over medium heat. Once hot, add the cumin seeds and let them splutter for about 30 seconds. Add the finely chopped onions and sauté for 4-5 minutes until they turn soft and light golden.
Cook the Masala Base: Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and slit green chillies. Cook for another minute until the raw aroma disappears. Add the chopped tomatoes along with turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, salt, and optional sugar.
Develop the Gravy: Mix well and cook the tomato masala for 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Continue cooking until the tomatoes break down completely, become mushy, and you see oil separating from the sides of the masala.
Simmer with Bread: Pour in 1.5 cups of water, stir everything together, and bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and add the torn bread pieces.
Finish and Serve: Gently mix to coat the bread evenly with the gravy, being careful not to mash it. Cover the pan and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the bread to absorb the liquid and flavors. Turn off the heat, stir in the fresh lemon juice (if using), and garnish generously with chopped coriander leaves. Serve immediately.

Seyal Bread is a traditional Sindhi breakfast dish made by simmering pieces of leftover bread or roti in a savory and tangy gravy of tomatoes, onions, and spices. It's a quick, flavorful, and resourceful one-pot meal.
While you can use fresh bread, day-old or slightly stale bread is highly recommended. Fresh bread is very soft and tends to disintegrate quickly, resulting in a mushy texture. Stale bread holds its shape better.
The key is to not overcook it. Add the bread pieces only after the gravy comes to a full boil, mix gently, and simmer for just 2-3 minutes. Serve immediately after cooking.
Seyal Bread can be a moderately healthy dish. It contains vegetables like tomatoes and onions, which are rich in vitamins and antioxidants. To make it healthier, use whole wheat or multigrain bread for added fiber and nutrients, and be mindful of the amount of oil used.
A single serving of Seyal Bread (approximately 240g) contains around 280-320 calories. The exact count can vary based on the type of bread and the amount of oil used.
Seyal Bread is best enjoyed fresh and hot, as the bread can become soggy upon reheating. However, you can prepare the tomato-onion gravy in advance and store it in the refrigerator. When ready to eat, simply reheat the gravy, bring it to a boil, and add the bread pieces.
