Coriander Leaves
(Freshly chopped)
0.25 tsp Turmeric Powder
0.5 tsp Red Chili Flakes (Optional, for extra heat)
0.125 tsp Hing (A small pinch of asafoetida)
0.75 tsp Salt (Adjust to taste)
3 tbsp Ghee (For frying, can be substituted with oil)
0.25 cup Water (As needed to adjust batter consistency)
Instructions
1
Prepare the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of rava, 1/2 cup of curd, and 1/4 cup of water. Mix well to form a thick paste without lumps.
Add the finely chopped onion, deseeded tomato, capsicum, green chilies, grated ginger, and coriander leaves to the bowl.
Stir in 1/4 tsp turmeric powder, 1/2 tsp red chili flakes (if using), a pinch of hing, and 3/4 tsp salt. Mix everything until well combined.
2
Rest the Batter (15 minutes)
Cover the bowl and let the batter rest for 15 minutes. This crucial step allows the rava to absorb moisture and swell, ensuring a perfect, non-grainy texture.
3
Apply Batter to Bread
After resting, check the batter's consistency. It should be a thick, spreadable paste. If it seems too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of water to adjust.
Take a bread slice and spread a generous, even layer of the suji mixture on one side, covering it completely from edge to edge.
4
Pan-Fry the Toast (5-6 minutes per toast)
Heat a non-stick tawa or frying pan over medium-low heat. Add about 1 tsp of ghee and let it melt.
Carefully place the bread slice on the pan, batter-side down. Press gently with a spatula.
Cook for 3-4 minutes until the suji topping is golden brown and crispy. Low heat is key to cooking the rava through without burning the bread.
Drizzle a little ghee on the top side of the bread, then flip. Cook the other side for 1-2 minutes until golden and toasted.
5
Serve Hot
Remove the toast from the pan and place it on a wire rack to maintain crispiness. Repeat the process for all remaining bread slices, adding ghee as needed.
Cut the toasts diagonally and serve immediately with tomato ketchup, mint chutney, or a hot cup of chai.

Ingredients
8 count Large Eggs
1 small Onion (finely chopped, for omelette)
2 count Green Chilli (finely chopped)
4 tbsp Coriander Leaves (chopped, divided)
0.75 tsp Turmeric Powder (divided)
1.5 tsp Salt (divided, or to taste)
5 tbsp Vegetable Oil (divided)
1 tsp Cumin Seeds
1 tbsp Ginger-Garlic Paste
3 medium Tomatoes (pureed)
1 tsp Red Chilli Powder (adjust to taste)
1.5 tsp Coriander Powder
1.5 cup Water (warm, or as needed for desired consistency)
0.5 tsp Garam Masala
Instructions
1
Prepare and Cook the Omelettes
In a large bowl, whisk the 8 eggs until light and frothy. Add the finely chopped small onion, green chillies, 2 tbsp of chopped coriander leaves, 1/4 tsp of turmeric powder, and 1/2 tsp of salt. Whisk again to combine everything well.
Heat 2.5 tbsp of the vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour half of the egg mixture into the pan and swirl to create a large, thin omelette. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the top is set and the bottom is golden brown.
Carefully flip the omelette and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Slide it onto a plate. Repeat with the remaining egg mixture to make a second omelette.
Allow the omelettes to cool for a minute, then tightly roll each one into a log. Using a sharp knife, slice the rolls into 1-inch thick pinwheels and set aside.
2
Create the Curry Base (Tadka)
In a separate wide pan or kadai, heat the remaining 2.5 tbsp of vegetable oil over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the cumin seeds and allow them to splutter for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the 2 finely chopped medium onions and sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are soft and golden brown.
Add the ginger-garlic paste and cook for another 60 seconds, stirring continuously, until the raw aroma disappears.
Stir in the tomato puree and cook for 4-5 minutes, until it starts to thicken and the raw smell is gone.
Reduce the heat to low and add the spice powders: remaining 1/2 tsp turmeric powder, red chilli powder, and coriander powder, along with the remaining 1 tsp of salt.
Mix well and cook the masala for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Continue cooking until the masala darkens in color and you see oil separating from the sides of the pan.
4
Simmer and Finish the Curry
Pour in 1.5 cups of warm water and stir well, scraping any bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring the gravy to a boil.
Reduce the heat to a simmer and let the gravy cook, partially covered, for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Gently slide the sliced omelette pieces into the simmering gravy. Use a spoon to carefully coat them with the gravy without breaking them.
Simmer for only 2-3 minutes. This is just enough time for the omelettes to absorb the flavor without becoming soggy.
Sprinkle the garam masala and the remaining 2 tbsp of chopped coriander leaves over the curry. Give it a final gentle stir and turn off the heat.
5
Serve
Let the curry rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to settle. Serve hot with fresh roti, naan, or steamed basmati rice.
