# Directions:
01 -
In a wide shallow bowl, whisk together the red onion, green chili, ground turmeric, kosher salt, chopped cilantro, and milk until thoroughly combined.
02 -
Break the eggs into the bowl and whisk with the vegetable mixture for about one minute, ensuring a uniform blend.
03 -
Place one slice of bread into the savory custard, allowing it to fully absorb the mixture. Gently press the bread with a fork to ensure both sides are coated, then flip and repeat.

Heat a non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 teaspoon of neutral oil. Lay the soaked bread slice onto the hot pan. Spoon and spread extra onion from the bowl on top of the bread. Cook for about 1 minute, or until the underside becomes golden brown.

Carefully turn the bread over and cook the second side for an additional minute, or until golden brown.
06 -
Repeat the dipping and cooking process with the remaining slice of bread, replenishing oil if needed.
07 -
Serve the hot masala French toast immediately, accompanied by ketchup and cilantro-mint chutney on the side.
# Notes:

Ensure the bread is well-soaked but not falling apart for optimal texture.
