Masala Toast

What makes a good English breakfast? French Toast of course.  But the Desi version should be called Masala toast.  Here I have eggs and bread in common.  That's it.  So should I be comparing both.  Maybe not, but it is the best and easy Sunday breakfast if you are really lazy!  I have here a very basic version with very limited ingredients (or creativity) but really the choices are endless.  You can add red chilli powder, cumin powder, chillies, garlic, mint, coriander leaves and so on.  Well it depends on your taste buds and the heat you can handle.  So without further ado lets get into the recipe and enjoy it with all the Masala and heat on a nice and slow November morning.

Ingredients

• Eggs - 6
• Bread slices - 8
• Onion - 2 medium sized, Finely chopped
• Turmeric pwd - 1/4 tsp
• Pepper pwd - 1 tsp
• Garam Masala pwd - 1/2 tsp
• Salt to taste
• Oil - 2 tsp
• Oil or Butter to toast the bread

Method

• In a mixing bowl, add the turmeric pwd, pepper pwd, garam masala pwd, salt and 1/4 tsp water and mix everything well.  The turmeric will not mix well with the egg if water is not added.
• Now break the eggs and whisk them together with the spices till they are well combined.
• In a pan or tawa, add 2 tsp oil and saute the onions till they are translucent.  Add this to the egg mixture

 

• Heat the pan or tawa again and add some butter or oil to toast the bread.  Dip a bread slice into the egg mixture and slide it onto the pan or tawa.  Keep the flame on low as the egg cooks faster and will burn otherwise.  When one side becomes golden brown turn it to the other side.  When both sides are cooked and golden, remove to a plate
• Cook all the bread slices in the same manner.  Depending on the pan or Tawa size you can cook 2-3 in a batch.  Remember to mix the mixture every time otherwise the onions will settle in the bottom.
• Serve hot with Ketchup or chutney or any dip of your choice.
