Method
How to make Savory French Toast
- Break eggs to a mixing bowl. Pour milk and add onions, chilies, coriander leaves, turmeric, chili flakes, cumin powder, garam masala and salt. Whisk together until frothy and combined.
- Heat a non-stick pan with butter on a medium heat. Optional - Spread chutney/sauce on one side of the bread slice.
- Place it in the beaten eggs and turn it to the other side with a fork. Remove, shaking off the excess to the same bowl and place in the hot pan. Follow the same steps and toast as many slices as you can in one batch. If you want you may spoon a tablespoon of beaten eggs on each slice.
- Cook on a medium flame until the base is cooked through.
- Turn it to the other side with a turner. Press down gently and cook until golden and crisp. Remove to a serving plate and cook the rest of the slices.
- Sprinkle chaat masala and serve hot.
