on Apr 02, 2016, Updated Oct 06, 2023 If the french are reading this, please forgive me. But this Indian Masala French Toast is something you guys should try. Maybe you’ll never go back to the sweet variety, though I love that too. This is my favorite breakfast when I’m in the mood for something spicy. And I’m sure every Indian home has their own way of making this, but guys, you have to try this version. It’s exactly how my mum makes it and trust me no other masala french toast compares to this version! I have sooo many memories of getting up on Sunday mornings and demanding this masala french toast. We’d sit around the kitchen table, while mum fried slices of bread dipped in a spicy egg mixture till the sides were crisp and lacy, almost reminding you of a crisp fried egg. She’d add lots of onions, ginger, green chilies, tomato and coriander with chili powder and beat the egg mixture till it became light and foamy. Lots of hot oil in the pan, so that the bread would sizzle and spit. She’d slide them on to our plates one by one. Waiting our turn till we got the next one was pure agony. I used to love mine drizzled with lots of tomato ketchup then, but that changed along the way. I still fry mine in oil, but now use a cast iron skillet instead of a non stick pan, because I love how crisp it makes the french toasts. Ketchup has been replaced with nothing these days. And a hot cup of coffee has replaced the tall glass of milk that mum insisted on. What hasn’t changed is that I still request masala french toast every time I go back home. She now has an extra mouth to feed with Denver joining the masala-french-toast-loving-club. But I know mom, she loves every bit of it! BTW, she’s coming to visit next week and is going to stay for TEN whole days. You have no idea how excited I am. Plus all that food that she’s going to make. I’ll share some with you guys, I promise. Do you have a version of the Masala French Toast you make at home? What’s your favorite topping? Tell me all about it on Twitter or Instagram.
