Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a wide mixing bowl, whisk together the finely minced red onions, chopped green chilies, ground turmeric, kosher salt, fresh cilantro, and milk until well combined.
  2. Add the eggs to the bowl and beat briskly until the mixture becomes smooth and fluffy.
  3. Take a slice of your chosen bread and immerse it in the egg mixture, pressing it down gently with a fork to help it absorb the flavors.
  4. Allow the slice to soak for about 20 seconds per side, ensuring both surfaces are thoroughly coated.
  5. Place a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add half a teaspoon of cooking oil, swirling it around to coat the surface evenly.
  6. Carefully place the soaked bread slice onto the hot pan and let it cook undisturbed for about 1 minute, or until you see a lovely golden-brown crust forming on the underside.
  7. Gently flip the toast using a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 1 minute, or until it gains that same irresistible golden hue.
  8. Serve your Savory Masala French Toast hot, accompanied by a side of ketchup or cilantro mint chutney.
