Vegan French Toast

INGREDIENTS

• 8 – 10 slices of bread
• 1 cup soy milk
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup corn flour
• 2 tbsp chickpea flour
• 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1/3 tsp turmeric
• 1/2 tbsp salt
• Black pepper
• Kala namak (black salt)
• Sunflower oil

METHOD

1. In a bowl add the soy milk and all-purpose flour. Mix well until you have a uniform batter. Add the corn flour and chickpea flour; mix well.
2. Add the apple cider vinegar and stir gently with a whisk until it’s incorporated into the mixture. Set the bowl aside for 5 minutes to thicken.
3. Add the salt to the batter then mix.
4. In a non-stick pan over medium heat, add a little sunflower oil. Once warm, fully dip the slices one by one into the batter then place them in the pan until they turn brown (about 3 minutes). Turn them onto their other side and sprinkle with a little kala namak and black pepper. Once the slice is ready, sprinkle the other side with kala namak.
5. Transfer to a paper towel to absorb any excess oil. If you like, you can sprinkle more of the black salt for a more intense eggy taste.

NOTES:

– Avoid putting the kala namak in the batter because the more it is cooked, the more it loses its flavour.
– Kala namak can be found in specialty and Asian grocery stores, as well as health shops.
