Besan Bread Toast Recipe: Note the ingredients beforehand

The best thing about this toast is that there is no need to buy anything special for it. The work is done with everyday household items – 5 to 6 bread slices, 1 cup gram flour, half cup grated raw potato, half cup each finely chopped onion, tomato and capsicum. The spices include 1 teaspoon red chili powder, one-fourth teaspoon garam masala, one-fourth teaspoon chaat masala, a pinch of baking soda for light crunch, salt as per taste and 2 teaspoons finely chopped coriander. Some oil will also be required for frying or baking.

From batter to crispy toast: a step-by-step recipe

First of all, sift gram flour in a big vessel. Add red chilli, salt, garam masala, chaat masala and baking soda to it. Prepare a thick batter by adding water little by little – keep in mind that the batter should neither be too thin nor too thick. Now add chopped onion, tomato, capsicum, grated potato and green coriander and mix well.

Put oil in the pan and heat it on medium flame. Take a slice of bread and dip it well in the gram flour mixture from both the sides, so that the vegetable coating sticks to the bread. Now carefully put it in hot oil and fry it on medium flame, turning from both sides, for 2 to 3 minutes until it becomes golden and crispy. Remove on tissue paper to remove excess oil.

Want to eat less oil? Adopt healthy option of pan

It is being told that if you do not want to eat fried food, then you can apply light oil or butter on a non-stick pan and cook it on low flame from both the sides. This makes it very crispy even with less oil. Serve hot gram flour bread toast with spicy green mint chutney or tomato ketchup.

Overall, this recipe is perfect for those busy mornings when time is short and hunger is high. Next time you're stressed about breakfast, remember Gram Flour Bread Toast — 15 minutes, one pan, and praise from the entire house.
