Steps In Making
- In a large bowl add the gram flour, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, cumin powder, garam masala, salt, and dry mango powder.
- Now add little water at a time to form a smooth batter with medium consistency, not too thick or thin.
- Further add finely chopped onions, tomatoes, green chillies and coriander. Mix well.
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
- To make the besan toast, dip a slice of bread in the prepared batter and make sure its well coated with both the sides.
- Heat oil or ghee on a tawa and place the bread slice on it. On medium flame cook for 2-3 minutes from both sides or until they get a light golden colour and are completely cooked.
- Similarly make the rest of the besan toast.
- Cut them in the desired shape and serve immediately with tomato ketchup or chutney.
Recipe Notes
- Do not make a very thin batter else it wont stick to the bread easily.
- You can use any bread of your choice.
- Never cook them on high flame, else they will remain uncooked from the inside.
