Bread when fried tastes just awesome , though I know its not a good idea,
as bread does absorb lot of oil, no-mater what all we do to lessen the oil content in it like - Dipping'em in water first then frying, wrapping fried bread's with paper towel to absorb excess oil , flour coating the bread before frying (Which I love the most) - these must be named snacks for kids or else once in 2 months snacks for Adults.
It is disappointing but its better if we try alternatives with Bread other than frying, and we can enjoy it guilt free :)
