A Monsoon Breakfast or Brunch with Geeta’s Sauces

Bombay Toast (Indian Masala French Toast) is a fabulous savoury French Toast recipe, with its roots in Mumbai (Bombay) street food.

Made with slices of fluffy white bread, which is soaked in a spicy, savoury egg and milk mixture, it makes a wonderful breakfast, brunch or supper dish.

I served mine for a lazy weekend brunch with some Geeta’a Sweet & Spicy Mango Sauce, for their range of DIP, DRIZZLE, MARINADE OR STIR FRY sauces, which exactly what they say on the tin (bottle!)

I’ve made my recipe for Bombay Toast (Indian Masala French Toast) fairly simple, based on what I had in the pantry, and the fact that I was serving them with a dipping sauce. However, I had made a list of optional “extra” ingredients you can add you the recipe, if you want to spice it up.

The only proviso is that you try to use free-range eggs, and large slices of fluffy white sliced bread. Sourdough bread doesn’t give the same texture or lightness, and, the Bombay street food version uses local sliced white bread, namely Amul Sandwich Bread and Kwality Sandwich Special Bread.

Serve a fried egg on top of this Bombay Toast (Indian Masala French Toast) for an extra indulgent meal. Or, with salad and fried Bombay style potatoes for a more satisfying supper dish.

For those readers living in the UK, I used Jackson’s of Yorkshire White Champion Bloomer in this recipe, as it’s my favourite commercially made bread. I am a big fan of Jackson’s Bakery, which uses NO palm oil in their bread, and their bread actually tastes of bread, as it used to in the old days!

 I hope you enjoyed reading about this recipe today, why not make this Indian recipe for breakfast or brunch this weekend, especially if it’s raining, As one of my Indian friends said, this is what we used to call a Monsoon Season Breakfast recipe, as it’s perfect comfort food for those wet days.

• 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
