French Toast

French toast can be made either sweet or savory, commonest being sweet. Made with bread and eggs, known by different names,  it is eaten at breakfast or brunch in many parts of the world ! I make the spicy version which gets ready in a jiffy and tastes simply awesome!

Ingredients :

• French bread : 4-5 slices
  (I used the regular white bread )
• Eggs : 2
• Finely chopped onion : 2 tsp
• Finely chopped green chilies : 2 no
• Finely chopped cilantro : few sprigs
• Cumin powder : 1/2 tsp
• Red chilly powder : 1/2 tsp (optional)
• Salt to taste 
• Oil / butter/ ghee : 1 tbsp 

Method :

• Break eggs in a bowl, beat them really well. 
• Add salt, chopped onion, green chilies and cilantro. Add cumin powder and red chilly powder and beat very well. 
• Pour the mixture in a flat plate. Cut bread slices in halves.
• Heat a griddle (tawa), put some oil. Now, dunk the bread slice in the egg mixture, make sure it is fully coated on both the sides and shallow fry. Repeat the same for all the slices.
• Serve hot with tomato ketchup or mayonnaise!

VARIATION : To make the sweet version of French Toast, add milk and sugar to the beaten eggs. Add a pinch of cinnamon powder and shallow fry. Top up with honey or maple syrup and serve!
