An open toast with semolina (Rava/ Sooji) made to a savory batter and toasted in low flame. I have not tasted this before, have seen a video once by chance otherwise it’s totally new to me. I love any dish prepared with rava/ sooji. So I was sure I will like this too. Recently my BIL asked me if I have this post in my blog, so thought of trying and making a post. Obviously I loved it so much, it turned out awesome. This can be a perfect quick and filling snack for kids returning from schools. Or even as breakfast in lazy sundays. I guess this can be called savory french toast or rock toast too. I found the recipe here for my reference.

*My friend Sangeeta and many suggested cream in the recipe and I too found its a great add to the recipe. So updated to add.
Method
- Mix all the ingredients except bread and oil in a mixing bowl. Use milk or cream to make a thick batter.
- Spread the batter over one side of the bread slice as a thick layer. Heat tawa / pan and drizzle with oil/ ghee or some butter. Put the batter applied side to the tawa.
- Cook in low or medium flame until golden crust is formed. Flip and toast until crisp.



Notes
- I added colour capsicum as I had it in stock and wanted to use it up. It gave a nice flavour. You an use simply grated carrot. You can increase onion if you want.
- You can skip green chilli if kids are having it.
- You can add grated ginger for extra flavour.
- Using milk or cream makes it more tastier and rich.
Serve hot always with tomato ketchup/ sauce of your choice.

Batter is placed on both sides of bread
ReplyDeleteRava toast looks so yummy!!
ReplyDeleteHi raji,
ReplyDeleteToast looks so delicious.
Can I do this on a bread toaster?what is the consistency of the batter?
And did you put batter on two sides?
Thank you
Bread toaster not sure - may stick.
DeleteI applied batter only one side.
It would taste much much better if you use malai or milk instead of water
ReplyDeleteWill try it out next time.

ReplyDeleteawesome recipe raks! my husband who doesnt like rava could not decipher the ingredients and totally loved eating it! thanks again
ReplyDeleteis there a substitute for curd?? my husband has an allergy..
ReplyDeleteYou can use milk or cream for making the batter. If he is allergic to milk products, then just plain water with little lemon juice.
DeleteDo we need to dry roast the rava?
ReplyDeleteNo need I guess, but if you want you can do.
DeleteThanks! I didn't dry roast it and it was a great hit. One more awesome recipe added go my kid's tiffin. Thanks again :)
ReplyDeleteI tried it.. Loved it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rak's!!
I use cream(malai) instead of curd. That ways, it does not stick while cooking on tawa.
