3. Mix the remaining yogurt with all the other ingredients to make a thick paste
4. Cut the edges of bread and keep it ready
5. In a dinner plate pour some water and keep it handy (refill as and when required)
6. Take a slice of bread, place it in the water plate (for 5 seconds)and let it soak up some water
7. Take it out of water, put it on your left palm and press it with your right to drain off the water
8. Take a small spoon full of the mixture (less better than more), place it in the center of the wet bread
9. Bring the sides of the bread onto the mixture to make it a ball. Make sure you cover the whole mixture
10. Place the ball in the serving tray with the joins facing downwards
11. Pour the remaining yogurt on top
