Home made bread crumbs and Bread crumb Mava

Home made bread crumbs are one of the best ways to use up old but not mouldy bread. You throw away the bread if it is mouldy, ofcourse.

And the simple but delicious Mava or bread crumb dessert mix I made with these bread crumbs is super simple and super delicious. SO next time you have some old bread try making these

Home Made Bread Crumbs

Ingredients:

1. 6 slices of old wheat or white bread or 4 hot dog buns

Spread the bread on a cookie sheet and bake in the oven for about 30 minutes at 200 degrees. Leave it in the oven to cool. Pulse grind to crumbs. Store in an air tight container in the refrigerator for long life

 Bread Crumbs Mava (Toasted crumbs and coconut mix)

Bread crumbs mava

Ingredients:

1. 2 cups home made bread crumbs
2. 1/2-3/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
3. 1/2 cup sugar
4. 1/4 cup raisins (optional)
5. 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg or one cardamom pounded

In a pan dry roast the coconut until slightly brown. Take it into a plate and set aside. In the same pan carefully toaste the bread crumbs for about 5 minutes. Add sugar and stir well to combine. Add the rest of the ingredients and the coconut back to the pan and stir well for a minute or two. Let it cool and serve

My grandma used to make such Mava and use it as fillings for sweet samosa. I will make those someday soon
