Masala French Toast | Savory Bombay Toast
Masala French Toast, also known as Savory Bombay Toast, is a spiced variation of classic French toast featuring an egg mixture blended with chopped red onion, green chili, turmeric, and cilantro. The bread slices soak in this savory mixture before being pan-fried to a golden brown crust, delivering a flavorful toast with a slight heat, herbaceous notes, and a vibrant yellow color from turmeric. Served warm with ketchup, green chutney, or sriracha, it offers a spicy breakfast or snack option.

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.
