Ingredients
- 8 lices bread I have used Harvest Brown Bread
- 2 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1.25 cup chickpea flour aka besan
- 1.5 cups water add gradually
- 1 small green chilli chopped finely
- 1 teaspoon red chili pepper
- 1 teaspoon amchur powder Can use lemon juice
- salt as per taste
- 1 tsp fenugreek leaves dry, aka kasoori methi
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine besan with spices, green chilies, and salt. Gradually add water and whisk to form a smooth, thick batter similar to pancake batter. Once the batter is ready, add chopped green chillies and mix well.
- Place a flat iron tawa (griddle) on medium heat and drizzle a small amount of oil or ghee on it. Spread the oil evenly across the surface of the tawa to prevent sticking.Take a slice of bread and dip it into the prepared besan batter, making sure to coat both sides evenly. Let any excess batter drip off before placing the bread on the hot tawa.Note: Make sure that the Tawa is hot or else the bread would stick to the tawa
- Place the batter-coated bread slice on the tawa. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the bread is golden brown and crispy. Add a little more oil or ghee around edges. Cover with a lid for perfect cooking. It takes about 5 minutes to cook from both sides. Repeat the same process for the remaining slices of bread, adding more oil or ghee to the tawa as needed to maintain a good cooking surface.Note: You may clean tawa with raw onion in between the swaps.
- Serve the hot and crispy Bread Bean Toast immediately with green chutney, ketchup and a hot cup of tea.
Notes
- The batter should be very thick or thin. The thick batter might result in uncooked portions of besan. The thin batter would be a bit runny to place on tawa. The not-so-thick is the best option.
- Make sure to cover the tawa with lid for perfect cooking.
- The Tawa should be hot and not warm or else the bread toast would stick to it.
- I don't recommend using any non-stick tawa as iron tawa is the best. Have been making all sorts of dosa, cheela using it for 2 decades.
