Add 1/4 cup of grated cheddar or mozzarella cheese to the egg batter for a gooey, cheesy version. You can also place a slice of cheese between two cooked toasts to make a sandwich.
Incorporate other finely chopped vegetables like bell peppers (capsicum), grated carrots, or sweet corn into the batter for added nutrition and texture.
For more heat, increase the number of green chilies or add 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper powder to the egg mixture.

The combination of carbohydrates from the bread and protein from the eggs provides a balanced source of energy, making it an ideal breakfast to start your day.

One serving of Masala French Toast (2 pieces) contains approximately 290-320 calories, depending on the type of bread and amount of ghee used for frying.
Masala French Toast can be part of a balanced diet. It's a good source of protein from eggs. However, since it is shallow-fried, it's best enjoyed in moderation. To make it healthier, use whole wheat bread and minimal ghee or oil.
This specific recipe relies on eggs for its texture and flavor. For an eggless savory toast, you can create a similar batter using gram flour (besan), water or milk, and the same spices and vegetables. This dish is popularly known as 'Besan Toast'.
Day-old white sandwich bread, brioche, or even pav (Indian bread rolls) work best as they absorb the batter well without falling apart. Whole wheat or multigrain bread can also be used for a healthier alternative.
Masala French Toast is best eaten fresh. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one day. Reheat on a dry, non-stick pan over low heat or in a toaster oven to restore some of its crispness.
