Easy Snack - Bread Toast
A home-style Kerala dish made with care and the kind of spice knowledge that comes from watching someone else cook it a hundred times. Each step matters, and the result is worth the effort.
Ingredientsfor 4 servings
- 8 nos White bread slices
- 1 cup Allpurpose flour Maida
- 1 tsp Salt
- 3 tsp Sugar
- Oil — for frying
Preparation
Step 1
Cut white bread slices diagonally into two.
Step 2
Mix together maida, a pinch of salt and sugar along with water to make a batter.
Step 3
This dish is supposed to be sweeter than to be saltier, so please keep that in mind while adding salt and sugar.
Step 4
Warm the oil in a pan.
Step 5
Dip bread pieces in the batter and fry in hot oil.
Tip
Good shallots are the backbone of Kerala cooking. They should be small, pink-purple, and strong-smelling. Large onions can substitute, but the flavour will be different.
