Instructions
-
Prepare the Topping Mixture:
In a mixing bowl, combine semolina, yogurt, onion powder, green bell pepper, coriander leaves, and green chili. Add black pepper powder and salt according to taste. Mix everything thoroughly to create a smooth and cohesive mixture. If the mixture is too thick, add a small amount of water to adjust the consistency to a spreadable texture. Allow the mixture to sit for about 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. -
-
Heat the Griddle:
While the mixture rests, heat a griddle (tawa) on medium flame. Once the griddle is hot, add a small amount of oil and spread it evenly. -
Assemble the Toast:
Take a slice of bread (your choice of white, brown, or whole wheat works well). Using a spoon, spread the prepared semolina topping mixture generously over the bread slice. Be sure to cover the entire surface of the bread. -
Cook the Toast:
Place the slice of bread, with the topping side down, onto the hot griddle. Cook on medium-high heat for about 3 minutes, or until the bread turns golden brown and crisp. Be careful not to burn the toast, and adjust the heat as necessary. -
Flip and Finish Cooking:
Carefully flip the toast using a spatula and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes, until both sides are crispy and evenly browned. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Once cooked, remove the toast from the griddle and serve it hot. Rock Toast is delicious on its own or paired with tomato ketchup, Dhaniya Pudina Chutney, or even a refreshing Homemade Pomegranate Juice with Ginger for a complete meal experience.
Serving Suggestions
- Tomato Ketchup: The tangy sweetness of ketchup pairs beautifully with the savory, spiced Rock Toast.
- Dhaniya Pudina Chutney: A fresh green chutney made from coriander and mint, adding a zesty contrast to the richness of the toast.
- Pomegranate Juice with Ginger: A cool, spicy drink that complements the flavors of the toast while offering refreshing hydration.
