Prepare the Besan Mixture:
Start by taking a large mixing bowl. Add 1/2 cup gram flour (besan) to the bowl. To this, add the finely chopped onion, tomato, green chilli, and freshly chopped coriander leaves. Sprinkle in some salt according to your taste. Mix all the ingredients well to form a smooth batter-like consistency. -

Heat the Griddle:
Now, place a griddle or tawa over medium heat. Once it’s hot, add a teaspoon of oil and spread it evenly. -
Dip the Bread:
Take one slice of wheat bread and dip it into the besan mixture, making sure both sides of the bread are evenly coated with the paste. -
Cook the Toast:
Place the coated bread slice onto the hot tawa. Drizzle a little oil over the top and let it cook for a minute or two. Flip the bread over to ensure both sides are golden and crispy. Repeat the same process for the remaining slices of bread. -
Serve:
Once all the bread slices are toasted and crispy, remove them from the griddle. Serve the Besan Bread Toast hot with a cup of Masala Tea for the perfect evening snack.
Tips:
- You can adjust the spice level by adding more or fewer green chillies to suit your taste.
- Serve this toast with a tangy chutney or a cup of your favorite drink.
- For a more indulgent version, you can sprinkle some chat masala or red chili powder on top before serving.
