Sooji Toast makes a quick, easy, and healthy breakfast that's also a perfect tea-time accompaniment. It’s filling yet easy on the stomach and tastes heavenly!!
Ingredients
- 4 slices bread of your choice (white, whole wheat or multi-grain)
- ⅓ cup sooji (rava or semolina)
- ⅓ cup heavy whipping cream or malai - note: use yogurt instead for a lighter version
- ¼ cup milk, to adjust consistency if needed
- ¼ cup onions, finely chopped
- ¼ cup tomatoes, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoon green pepper/capsicum, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon frozen green peas, rinsed
- 2 tablespoon frozen corn, rinsed
- ½ teaspoon ginger, minced
- 1 green chili, finely chopped (optional)
- 2 tablespoon cilantro/coriander, finely chopped
- ¼ teaspoon chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon garam masala
- 1-2 tablespoon ghee (or oil)
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine together sooji and heavy cream to form a thick batter of spreadable consistency. Add milk if it's too thick.
- Add onions, tomatoes, green pepper, peas, green chilies, ginger, cilantro, salt, chili powder, and garam masala. Give it a good mix.
- Spread the sooji-veggie mixture evenly on one side of each bread slice.
- Heat a pan or tawa over medium-low heat. Brush it with ghee.
- Place the bread with sooji-veggie mixture side down on the tawa.
- Cook for 4-5 minutes or till it turns light golden brown. Press it with a spatula lightly in between to make sure the sooji is cooked all over.
- Flip and toast the other side until golden and crisp.
- Repeat the process for the rest of the bread slices.
- Cut sooji toast into half and serve immediately with ketchup or green chutney and chai.
Recipe Notes
- These toasts are quite versatile. Use salt and freshly cracked pepper instead if you don't have the above spices in your pantry. They will still be super yummy.
- Add milk to adjust the consistency of the topping. It should be easily spreadable.
- Use plain yogurt/curd instead of cream for a lighter version.
- Skip green chilies if making for kids.
- Sooji toast is best served hot.
