Ingredients

  • 6 slices Whole wheat bread
  • 4 Eggs
  • 1 tablespoon Milk/Cream optional
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  • ½ teaspoon cumin powder
  • A pinch garam masala
  • 1 medium Onion finely chopped aboul ½ cup
  • 1 small firm tomato finely chopped about ⅓ cup
  • 5 sprigs cilantro leaves stripped and chopped
  • 1 green chili minced optional
  • ½ tablespoon finely chopped or grated fresh ginger
  • Salted butter/Olive oil – to cook

Instructions

  • Take a wide, shallow dish and whisk the eggs with a splash of milk/cream. Add all the spices, salt and pepper and whisk. Whisk in the chopped veggies. Your egg masala to coat the bread slices is ready.
  • Set a cast iron skillet (or other heavy bottomed skillet) on medium high heat. Once hot, lower the heat to medium.
  • Take a slice of bread and soak it in the egg mixture for about 5 seconds on each side.
  • Add a tab of butter (about a teaspoon) or olive oil to the pan and carefully slide the egg masala coated bread slice in to the pan. You might have to spoon some onions and tomatoes onto the bread if they have slipped off.
  • Cook the toast on medium heat for about 2-3 minutes and then flip and cook till the egg mixture on the other side is done. Add more butter if needed. Butter makes the edges of the bread crispy. Yum.
  • Repeat with all the slices.
  • Serve hot with tomato ketchup and a cup of coffee.

Notes
