Ingredients

  • ¼ cup besan fine gram flour
  • ½ cup water
  • ¼ cup red onion finely diced
  • 1 green chili finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro finely chopped
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Turmeric ground
  • 1 teaspoon garlic paste
  • 1 teaspoon ginger paste
  • ¼ teaspoon red chili flakes optional
  • cooking oil
  • 2 bread hearty white or other firm bread, slices

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add besan to a wide mixing bowl. Break any lumps. Add half of the water and mix well to form a smooth paste and then add the remaining water to make a flowy batter. Add salt, turmeric, green chili, ginger and garlic paste, onions, and cilantro. Mix well. Optimally stir in red chili flakes for extra spice.
  2. Dip one sliced bread in the batter and press down with a spoon so the bread soaks the batter. Turn the bread over gently, press down and spoon over some batter on the top side.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet at medium heat and spread 1 teaspoon of oil. Place the soaked bread slice on the skillet and spread over 1 to 2 spoonfuls of batter on top. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until the bottom side is golden brown.
  4. Carefully flip over the bread and cook on the other side for 3 to 4 minutes. Add a teaspoon of oil to the sides of the bread.
  5. Repeat steps 2 to 4 for the second slice of bread. Enjoy hot with ketchup, green chutney or sriracha sauce, and ginger chai.
