Ingredients
  

For the Egg Mixture
  • 2 large Eggs Essential for structure and protein; use large eggs for the best texture.
  • 1/2 cup Red Onion Adds a sweet crunch; shallots can work as a delicious substitute.
  • 1 medium Green Chili Introduces a spicy kick; jalapeños are a great alternative.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Turmeric Delivers warmth and vibrant color; consider curry powder if unavailable.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt Enhances all the flavors; regular salt is an acceptable stand-in.
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro Offers a fresh finish; swap for parsley if desired.
  • 1/4 cup Milk Any non-dairy milk can be used for a vegan option.
For the Bread
  • 4 slices Bread Opt for sourdough or whole grain; gluten-free options available.
For Serving
  • 1/4 cup Ketchup Provides a sweet and tangy contrast; sriracha is great for spice.
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro Mint Chutney Brightens flavors beautifully; substitute with your favorite chutney.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a wide bowl, whisk together the finely minced red onion, chopped green chili, ground turmeric, kosher salt, and fresh cilantro. Gradually add milk or water until smooth.
  2. Take a slice of bread and dip it into the egg mixture, flipping it to saturate both sides, then set aside.
  3. Heat a pan over medium heat with 1/2 teaspoon of oil until shimmering.
  4. Carefully transfer the soaked bread into the pan without crowding for even cooking.
  5. Spoon remaining onion mixture over the top of the bread and cook until golden brown on one side before flipping.
  6. Allow the other side to cook for another minute, ensuring both sides are golden.
  7. Transfer the toast to a serving plate and serve hot with ketchup and chutney.

For best results, use fresh spices and maintain the perfect oil temperature to achieve a crispy texture. Avoid over-soaking the bread to prevent sogginess.
