Cut the stale bread into large bites and place in a serving dish.
Dice the onion small.
Soften the onion in a little oil for 6 minutes, add the paste and cook for 2 minutes.
Add the hot water and salt and boil the sauce for 8 minutes.
Whisk the garlic yogurt until smooth.
Pour the hot tomato water over the bread and let it absorb for 5 minutes.
Serve the bread dish hot with yogurt and chili butter.
💡 Tip: Moistening the bread with hot sauce without turning it to paste preserves papara's texture.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Drizzle with chili butter and serve with ayran.
