What goes into my version of Besan Bread Toast / The ingredients:

Besan / Chickpea flour : Makes the toast protein rich and provides a base for the toast and holds the veggie toppings very well.
Bread: I have used 100% Atta (whole wheat bread) to make it healthy. You may use multigrain bread as well.
Veggies : I have used onions, carrots, bell pepper, tomatoes and coriander. You may use veggies of your choice.
Spices : This toast uses very little basic spices like turmeric powder, red chili powder, carom seeds, black pepper corn. I have not used green chilies as i made these toast for my son.
Cheese: I have grated cheese on the ready toast and sprinkled little oregano and chili flakes to make it all the more delightful.
Oil: Very little oil is required to shallow fry the toast.

Ingredients for Besan Bread Toast:

1 Cup Chickpea Flour / Besan
4 bread slices
1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon red chili powder
1 teaspoon carom seeds (ajwain)
1 teaspoon black pepper powder
1 onion finely chopped
1 tomato finely chopped
1 bell pepper deseeded and finely chopped
1 small carrot , grated
1-2 tablespoon oil
1/4 cup grated cheese (optional
Chili flakes and oregano for garnishing

Method:

In a mixing bowl, sift Besan.
Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, salt and carom seeds to it.
Adding little water at a time make a lump free batter of it.
In another mixing bowl add all the chopped veggies. Season them with salt and black pepper .
Dip 1 bread slice to the prepared chickpea flour batter and allow it to coat from boat sides.
Immediately transfer it to greased and heated skillet, as the bread may turn soggy and tear, if you keep it in the batter for longer time.
Add 1-2 tsp of veggies on the besan coated bread slice and spread the veggies evenly on the slice. Press it gently, so that the veggies adhere to the slice and does not come out while flipping the toast.
Drizzle little oil from the sides of the bread slice and cover cook it for a minute or so on low to medium flame.
Gently flip the toast and cook the other side as well .
Make all the besan bread toast similarly.
Cut the toast into desired shape and size.
Garnish it with grated cheese, organo and chili flakes if you wish to.
The toast tastes great on its own, though you can serve it with ketchup or dip of your choice.
