Spicy Masala Bread Toast

Our family does not eat Bread for breakfast and I wonder why I bought bread. Now its time for me to cook it off before it reaches its expiration date. I cannot sell it to my husband (even not to me) as a simple Bread butter jam sandwich. I had to incorporate a slight Indian twist so that he would not complain much before eating. I am posting this recipe for THE BREAD MANIA event posted by Sindura


Ingredients

• Bread - 4 or 5 slices
  
• Egg - 2
• Onion - 1 medium
• Tomato - 1 big
• Corriander leaves - a handful
• Mint or Pudina leaves - a handful
• Ginger, garlic paste - optional
• Chilli powder - 2 tsp
• Dhania powder - 1 tsp
• Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
• Pepper powder - 3/4 tsp
  
• Oil - 2 or 3 table spns
• Salt to taste

Method

Here is how I did it. I seperated the eggs to a bowl and added the pepper pwd and salt just for these eggs. I made a paste of the onion, tomato, corriander leaves and mint leaves. In a wide mouthed sauce pan, heat oil. To this add the paste we had made earlier. The ginger garlic paste is added to this paste at this stage (But it is optional). When it is slightly getting sauteed, add the chilli pwd, dhania pwd and turmeric pwd. Add the salt to taste. When the paste is nicely cooked, turn off the heat and allow it to cool. If we do not cool, the eggs might get cooked in this heat. When it is cool, add the beaten eggs to this paste. Beat them up nicely so that they get combined smoothly through out.

Heat up a skillet and add oil to it so that we can toast the bread without it sticking to the skillet or pan. Soak the bread slices in the prepared egg paste and toast it on the skillet. When the eggs get cooked and when the bread slightly browns up, turn to the other side. Repeat for other slices too. Do not soak the bread for too long other wise it will be too hard to handle them. This dish tastes good with tomato ketchup
