French Toast - Indian Version (Gypsy Toast, Eggy Bread)
French Toast-Indian Version
I used to make these a lot when girls were young and living at home. I still make them occasionally for a brunch. The recipe has been altered to suit Indian taste. You can use a slightly stale bread for making these, but the eggs should be fresh. They make a quick and simple breakfast or a light meal. Serves 2

Ingredients
| • | 4 slices bread (this dish tastes best with white bread) |
| • | 2 large or 3 medium eggs. The amount of eggs is approximate. |
| • | 1 small onion, peeled and finely chopped |
| • | 2 green chillies, finely chopped (Indians don’t generally remove seeds) |
| • | 1-2 tbsp. chopped coriander leaves |
| • | 2-3 tbsp. full cream milk |
| • | Salt to taste |
| • | Freshly ground black pepper to taste |
| • | Oil or butter for pan frying (I prefer oil) |
Instructions
| 1. | Break the eggs bowl and beat a little. |
| 2. | Add milk, salt, pepper, onions, coriander leaves and green chillies. Beat some more until well mixed. |
| 3. | Heat oil/butter in a large non-stick frying pan to medium hot. |
| 4. | Dip each bread slice into the egg-milk mixture, turn over and dip the second side till the bread soaks it all up. |
| 5. | Put in the hot oil, adding a little egg mixture with chopped onions, green chillies and coriander on top. |
| 6. | Cook until both sides are cooked through and look slightly brown. |
| 7. | Serve hot with some tomato ketchup. |
Notes
| • | You can also add a little of de-seeded and finely chopped tomatoes. |
| • | You can make sweet French toast by adding sugar to the eggs in place of salt, pepper, onions, chillies and coriander leaves. |
