This was one of my favorite Sunday breakfasts growing up, the smell of the toasts frying up a scent memory that still takes me back. I grew up eating this fried bread , typically served with tomato ketchup. Eggless Savory French Toast/Bread Pakoda is so ridiculously easy to make, and requires ingredients we all usually have on hand & the most important part its not fried :D
You can imagine me doing the Happy DANCE :) Eggless Savory French Toast/Bread Pakoda is great for breakfast, for kids lunch box and even a quick evening bite with tea.
Take a big bowl and add in all the ingredients and add water slowly to make a thick batter.
Take the bread slices (you can use any white/brown/multigrain bread)
As the batter is thick, use your hand or a spoon to place some of the mixture on the bread.
Heat a flat non stick pan and add oil.
Place the bread slices. Add few drops of oil along the edges and cook on medium flame for about 2-3 minutes. Turn the bread and toast the other side until golden brown.
Serve with ketchup or our Multipurpose green chutney

This looks absolutely delicious. I've only ever eaten sweet French toast so I'm really excited to try the savoury kind! I think we have all the ingredients except carom seeds....and black flour...can we use normal all purpose flour?
Soniya Saluja says
Happy to hear that you wanna give it a try .. You can skip the Carom seeds , but the key to this dish is black garam flour .You can find it easily in any Indian store :D Or Amazon !!
