Preparation Steps
-
Grind the Ingredients: Begin by grinding the coriander seeds, whole black peppercorns, green chili, and garlic together into a coarse mixture. This blend will provide a robust flavor to your paneer toast. Remember to reserve a teaspoon of this mixture to mix into the egg later.
-
-
Prepare the Paneer Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the crumbled paneer with the remaining ground mixture. Season it with salt and soy sauce to enhance the taste, ensuring that the paneer absorbs all the flavors.
-
Beat the Egg: Crack the whole egg into another bowl. Add the teaspoon of the ground spice mixture you set aside earlier, then whisk them together until well combined and frothy. This will create a flavorful egg wash that coats the toast beautifully.
-
Slice the Bread: Take the whole wheat brown bread slices and cut them diagonally to form two triangles for each slice, creating a visually appealing shape.
-
Assemble the Toast: Spread the flavorful paneer mixture generously on top of each triangular slice of bread, ensuring an even layer for maximum taste.
-
Cooking the Toast: Heat a flat tawa (griddle) over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil. Carefully dip each prepared toast into the egg mixture, ensuring that both sides are coated. Once coated, place the toast on the tawa with the paneer side facing up first.
-
Flip and Cook: Allow the toast to cook for about 2 minutes until the base is golden brown. Carefully flip the toast over and cook for another 2 minutes on the other side until crispy and golden.
-
Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove the toast from the tawa and sprinkle sesame seeds, chopped red chili, and fresh coriander leaves on top for an extra burst of flavor. Serve the Thai Style Paneer Toast hot and enjoy it alongside a bowl of fresh fruits and a refreshing glass of Cantaloupe Pomegranate and Mint Juice for a complete meal experience.
