Marwari Masala French Toast with Masala Chai

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Masala Batter

   • In a wide, shallow bowl, add the besan, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, amchur powder, ajwain, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together to combine.
   • Crack the eggs into the bowl. Add the milk and whisk vigorously until you have a smooth, lump-free batter.
   • Stir in the finely chopped onion, green chilies, and coriander leaves. The batter should be of a coating consistency, similar to a thin pancake batter.
2. 2

   Heat the Pan

   • Place a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of ghee and let it heat up until it shimmers slightly.
3. 3

   Coat and Cook the Bread

   • Take one slice of bread and dip it into the prepared batter. Let it soak for about 10-15 seconds on each side, ensuring it's fully coated but not overly saturated to the point of breaking.
   • Carefully lift the coated slice, allowing any excess batter to drip back into the bowl, and place it on the hot ghee-laden pan.
4. 4

   Fry to Golden Perfection

   • Cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side, until the bottom is golden brown and the edges are crisp. Use a spatula to press down gently for even cooking.
   • Flip the toast carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until it's cooked through and has a beautiful golden-brown color.
   • Remove from the pan and place on a serving plate.
5. 5

   Repeat and Serve

   • Repeat the process for the remaining bread slices, adding more ghee to the pan as needed for each batch.
   • Serve the Marwari Masala French Toast immediately while hot, accompanied by green chutney, tomato ketchup, or a side of pickle.
