Besan Toast is quick and easy snack made by shallow frying bread dipped in a spicy besan (chickpea flour) batter. It can be topped with vegetables like onion, tomato, capsicum or any other ones of your choice.
Besan toast is a very popular snack and tastes quite similar to Bread Pakora. It is however low in fat & oil as it is shallow fried, and thus is a relatively healthier alternative to deep fried Bread Pakora or Bread Bhajji.
Although the dish is mostly made with white bread, you can also use whole grain or multi-grain bread to make it healthier.
The toast is made in the same manner as French Toast and is a nice alternative for vegetarians. While it has similar texture as French Toast, the resemblance ends there as it has totally different taste which is dominated by shallow fried Besan.
Besan Toast can be made as a quick evening snack or as a light breakfast when you are looking for a break from routine monotonous food in breakfast. It tastes best when served hot with Green Chutney or Tomato Ketchup.
