Repeat and Serve
Incorporate finely grated vegetables like carrots, bell peppers, or cabbage into the batter for added nutrition and crunch.
Place a slice of cheese on the toast after flipping it once, and let it melt before serving.
This recipe is naturally vegan. Just ensure you use a plant-based bread and vegetable oil for frying.
Add 2 tablespoons of fine semolina (rava/suji) to the batter for an extra crispy toast.
Besan (chickpea flour) is an excellent source of plant-based protein, which is essential for muscle repair, growth, and overall body function.
The combination of whole wheat bread, besan, and vegetables provides a significant amount of dietary fiber, which aids digestion, promotes satiety, and helps maintain stable blood sugar levels.
The inclusion of fresh vegetables like onions, tomatoes, and coriander provides essential vitamins (like Vitamin C and K) and minerals that support overall health and immunity.
Ajwain (carom seeds) is well-known in Indian cuisine for its digestive properties, helping to alleviate indigestion and bloating.
One serving of Tawa Bread Toast (2 pieces) contains approximately 280-320 calories, depending on the type of bread and amount of oil used.
It can be a relatively healthy breakfast option. It's made with besan (chickpea flour), which is rich in protein and fiber, and includes fresh vegetables. Using whole wheat bread and minimal oil for shallow frying makes it more nutritious than deep-fried snacks.
Yes, you can make it gluten-free by simply using your favorite gluten-free bread slices. The besan batter is naturally gluten-free.
Sogginess usually occurs if the bread is soaked in the batter for too long, if the batter is too thin, or if the tawa is not hot enough when you place the toast on it. Ensure a quick dip, a thick batter, and a properly heated pan.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 days. For best results, reheat on a hot tawa or in an air fryer to regain crispiness. Microwaving is not recommended as it can make the toast soft.
