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 ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon ginger paste
- ¼ teaspoon red chili flakes optional
- Oil for cooking
- 2 bread slices hearty white or other firm bread **
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Repeat steps 2 to 4 for the second slice of bread. Enjoy hot with ketchup, green chutney or sriracha sauce, and ginger chai.
