Masala French Toast | Savory Bombay Toast
Description
This recipe involves whisking together finely minced red onion, green chili, turmeric, kosher salt, chopped cilantro, milk (or water), and eggs to create a flavorful batter. Slices of sourdough, multigrain, or whole wheat bread are dipped into the egg mixture allowing it to absorb the spices and moisture fully. The soaked bread is then cooked in a lightly oiled nonstick or cast iron pan over medium heat until the first side turns golden brown, then flipped to cook the other side similarly.
The result is a savory toast with a fragrant mix of turmeric and fresh herbs, accented by the mild heat from chili and crunch from onion bits on top. It can be served hot paired with condiments such as ketchup, green chutney, or sriracha to enhance the spiced flavors. This toast brings a spiced twist to the traditional sweet French toast format.
Ingredients
- 2 large egg
- 2 tablespoons red onion finely minced
- 1 teaspoons green chili finely minced, jalapeno or other spicy chili works too
- ¼ teaspoon Turmeric ground
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons cilantro finely chopped
- ⅓ cup milk or water
- 2 lices bread sourdough, multigrain or whole wheat
To serve
- 2 tablespoons ketchup green chutney or sriracha sauce
Instructions
- Whisk together onion, green chili, turmeric, salt, cilantro and milk in a wide bowl (big enough to fit the sliced bread). Add in the eggs and whisk for a minute. Dip one slice of bread in the egg mixture and gently press down with a fork so the bread can absorb the egg mix. Flip the bread over and repeat on the other side.
- Heat a non stick pan (you can also use cast iron) and apply ½ teaspoon of oil. Carefully place the soaked bread on the pan. Spoon and spread over some extra onions from the egg mixture on top. Cook on medium heat for a minute or until the bottom side starts to turn golden brown.
- Turn over and cook the other side for a minute until it becomes golden brown. Repeat with the second slice of bread.
- Serve hot with ketchup, sriracha or green chutney.
