Instructions
-
Prepare the batter:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the semolina (sooji), yogurt (curd), finely chopped green chilies, onion, green bell peppers, coriander leaves, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients come together into a semi-thick batter. -
Coat the bread:
Take each slice of whole wheat brown bread and spread the batter generously on one side of each slice. Make sure the bread is evenly coated with the batter. -
Cook the French toast:
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a teaspoon of butter or oil to the pan. Once the pan is hot, place the bread slices with the coated side facing down in the skillet. -
Coat the other side:
After the first side becomes crispy and golden brown (approximately 3-4 minutes), spread the remaining batter on the top side of the bread. Flip the bread slices carefully, and cook until both sides are crisp and golden brown. -
Serve:
Once cooked to perfection, remove the bread slices from the skillet. Serve the Semolina French Toast hot, either with a dash of Tabasco sauce for an added kick or with a sprinkle of grated cheese on top. This dish is best enjoyed with a hot cup of coffee or paired with a refreshing Papaya Banana Smoothie for breakfast or teatime.
Tips:
- For a healthier version, you can opt for olive oil or a non-stick spray to cook the French toast.
- You can also add grated cheese or fresh herbs like mint for a variation in flavor.
- This recipe works great as a savory snack or breakfast option, perfect for those looking for a non-sweet toast alternative.
