Similar to this bread besan toast, we also make bread pakoda using almost the same ingredients except the vegetables. I have already shared the recipe for bread pakoda. Do check it out if interest.
Unlike bread pakoda, besan toast is pan-fried making it a low-fat version of bread pakoda.
I always like to use white bread for making this toast as it soaks the besan batter well and does not become too mushy. But you can use any bread of your choice.
It is advisable to serve this besan bread toast immediately when it’s hot as it will tend to get soggy if kept for a long time.
