Ingredients

Bread - 8 slices

Sooji - 1/2 cup

Onion - 1/2 (finely chopped)

Red chilli powder - 1 tsp

Coriander leaves - 2 tsp (finely chopped)

Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp

Ghee - as required to toast

Salt - to taste

Method

Mix all the ingredients except bread to make a semi thick batter. Take a spoonful of the batter and smear it on one side of the bread. Repeat this for 2 (or) 3 breads and keep them ready!

Heat a skillet on medium and when hot, add about 1/2 tsp of ghee to it. Now, carefully place the smeared side facing the skillet. While the battered side is cooking, smear the other side of the bread with a spoonful of batter. 

After about 2-3 mins, flip the bread gently and let the other side cook till both the sides are golden brown.

These savory toasts are good enough to eat by themselves or if you like, a little tomato ketch-up on the side would be just perfect. 

My daughter & VJ couldn't have enough of this savory treat for breakfast! It was totally yummmm!!!
