Deshi Croûtons with Indian spices and herb

Croûtons are pieces of bread that have been toasted with various herbs. They are a easy to make and goes very well with green salad, soup or you can eat it as a tea time snack. You can make them in a frying pan or in a oven, until they are crisp and golden brown. I used dried Fenugreek leaves(kasouri methi), Carom Seeds(Ajwain) which gave it a different but very nice flavor. It takes only 10 mins to make this yummy snacks , so go ahead and give it a try.
