 Besan Bread Toast

Ingredients (240 ml cup used)

2 slices of bread ( halve the slices if preferred)

1 to 1.5 tbsp ghee or oil for frying

¼ heaped cup besan/gram flour or 5 tbsps

½ tsp ajwain/ carom seeds

Generous pinch of turmeric/ haldi

⅛ to ¼ tsp red chili powder

Pinch of hing

Salt as needed

¼ tsp grated or crushed ginger / adrak

1 green chili finely chopped (optional)

2 tbsp finely chopped onions

2 tbsp finely chopped tomatoes

Finely chopped coriander leaves few

3 tbsp water (use as needed)

Preparation

Make a batter by mixing flour, onions, tomatoes, carom seeds, chili, ginger, coriander leaves, red chili powder and salt with enough water to make a thick batter.

Beat the batter well with a fork for 1 to 2 minutes. Taste the batter to check if the salt & spice are enough.

Making besan bread toast

Heat a pan with oil.

When the pan is hot enough, dip each slice of the bread in the batter on one side. Place them on the hot griddle.

On a low to medium heat, toast until firm and bread comes off from the pan. Spoon the batter on the top side or the other side, just before flipping it. Do it carefully. Toast on the other side as well.

Repeat frying on both the sides on a low flame until the batter is completely cooked. The toast must turn golden.
