Cashew Masala Toast

Sometimes all it takes is a little imagination and re thinking our regular staples to come up with interesting ideas for snacks. Here I have taken the classic french toast, eliminated milk and sweet and made it into a indianized savoury. This recipe uses egg , but a eggless version is just as delicious. Do try out your own innovations too.

4 slices of bread ( Can use any firm bread)
2 eggs *
1 large sized onions finely chopped
1 green chilli finely chopped ( optional)
2 tblsp green corriander leaves finely chopped
2 tsp tomato ketchup or tomato chilli sauce
8 pcs cashews, broken and roasted
2 tblsp oil
salt and pepper to taste

* If eggless use a thin batter made with 2 tablespoons besan/ chick pea flour and 1/2 cup water.

Cut the bread slice into halves. Whisk the eggs . Add the chopped onions, chillies, corriander. sauce, salt and pepper to the egg ( or besan batter) . Add the cashew pieces. Heat oil in a skillet . Dip the bread slice in the mixture and place in the oil. Carefully place a spoonful of the chopped onions mixture on the bread. Repeat with all the slices. Cover and cook on a low flame till the egg/ besan sets. Flip and cook the other side. Serve hot.
This does not need any other side dish or relish/ chutneys/ sauce.
