Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 slices of bread (white or whole wheat)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil or ghee

Instructions

  1. Prepare the egg mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garam masala, turmeric powder, ground cumin, red chili powder, and salt until fully combined and smooth.
  2. Dip the bread slices: Take each slice of bread and dip it into the spiced egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated but not too soggy.
  3. Heat the pan: Place a non-stick pan or skillet over medium heat and add the cooking oil or ghee, allowing it to heat evenly.
  4. Pan-fry the bread: Place the dipped bread slices onto the hot pan and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until the bread is golden brown and slightly crispy.
  5. Serve: Remove the French toast from the pan and serve immediately while hot, optionally with a side of chutney or yogurt for an authentic Indian touch.

Notes

  • You can customize the spice levels by adjusting the amount of red chili powder.
  • Use day-old bread for better absorption and texture.
  • For a richer taste, use ghee instead of cooking oil.
  • Serve with fresh coriander or a squeeze of lemon for added freshness.
