Notes

I prefer removing the edges of the bread slices. It adds to the softness of the nuggets.
I have used ginger and garlic paste separately. You may use the readymade ginger-garlic paste.
Ensure the nugget mixture is coarse. This renders a unique taste in every bite.
Always fry the nuggets on a low to medium flame or else the outside will burn quickly while the inside will remain uncooked.
