Prepare the Batter: In a wide bowl, combine the finely minced red onion, green chili, ground turmeric, kosher salt, and chopped cilantro with the milk. Whisk these ingredients together until well combined, creating a vibrant mixture. Next, crack in the large eggs and whisk for an additional minute until the batter is homogenous.

Soak the Bread: Take your slices of bread, whether sourdough or multigrain, and dip each piece into the egg mixture. Ensure both sides are well-coated and gently press down to help the bread absorb the flavorful batter without becoming overly soggy. Allow the soaked bread to rest on a cooling rack for 2–3 minutes.

Heat the Pan: Place a non-stick or cast-iron pan on the stove over medium heat. Add approximately ½ teaspoon of oil and let it heat up.

Cook the Toast: Gently place the soaked bread slices in the heated pan. Cook each side for about 1–2 minutes, watching closely as the bottom turns a deep golden brown.

Flip and Finish Cooking: Once the first side of the Savory Masala French Toast is golden brown, carefully flip the slices over using a spatula. Allow the other side to cook for an additional 1–2 minutes.

Serve and Enjoy: Remove the cooked Savory Masala French Toast from the pan and let it cool slightly. Serve hot, accompanied by your choice of ketchup or cilantro mint chutney.
