1. "To raise a toast" = when you raise your glasses (filled with liquor) to drink in honor of someone or something.
2. "Toast" = the word for bread after it is exposed to heat.
So Mr. Kumar thought of bread when he heard the word "toast."

To raise a toast is like raise your glass of drink in honour of somebody but another meaning of toast is bread.
So when he heard "raise a toast" he inexplicit thought of eating bread.
