Indian Savory French Toast

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Savory Egg Batter

   • In a wide, shallow bowl large enough to dip a bread slice, crack the 4 eggs. Whisk vigorously for about 1 minute until they are light and frothy.
   • Add the milk, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, and salt. Whisk again until all the spices are fully incorporated into the egg mixture.
   • Gently stir in the finely chopped onion, tomato, green chilies, and coriander leaves. Mix just enough to distribute the vegetables evenly throughout the batter.

   Coat and Cook the French Toast

   • Heat 1-2 teaspoons of ghee in a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium-low heat. Ensure the pan is evenly heated before starting.
   • Take one slice of bread and dip it into the egg batter. Let it soak for 5-10 seconds per side, pressing gently to help the chopped vegetables adhere to the surface. Avoid over-soaking, which can make the bread fall apart.
   • Lift the coated bread slice, allowing any excess batter to drip back into the bowl, and carefully place it on the hot skillet. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches of 1 or 2 slices.
   • Cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side, or until the bottom is golden brown and the egg appears set around the edges.
   • Flip the toast carefully with a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until it's also golden brown and cooked through completely.
   • Remove from the pan and place on a serving plate. Repeat the process for the remaining bread slices, adding more ghee to the skillet as needed for each batch.

   Serve and Enjoy

   • Serve the Indian Savory French Toast immediately while it is hot and crisp.
   • It pairs wonderfully with tomato ketchup, mint-coriander chutney, or a hot cup of masala chai.
