Rava Toast | Semolina Toast | Sooji Toast with VIDEO details

a crispy toasted bread with a tasty toppings of few vegetables and semolina mixture

Any dish using bread are always liked by all of us. 2-3 years back, I had come across this Rava Toast in a cookery TV show. And since then this rava toast is a common affair for me. I prepare this dish as per my convenience and always love to add few veggies. This rava toast is completely vegetarian and comes under open toast category. I had recently shared another semolina based recipe as Savory Bundt Cake, do check that and if preparing for kids, simply omit the green chilies.

What are the ingredients here ?

1. Bread slice – Any kind of breads like white, brown, whole wheat, multigrain pair well here. I have used white one as that was in my kitchen pantry.
2. Sooji – I have picked the fine variety sooji / semolina / rava. If you do not have fine variety then simply grind a bit the regular semolina in a grinder jar. 
3. Vegetables – I have picked onions, tomatoes, carrot, bell pepper here. Any other vegetables like cabbage, beetroot, spinach, cucumber etc can be added. But all these should be in finely chopped or grated form, so that these can be easily cooked.
4. Coriander leaf– This is optional but adds a nice flavor.
5. Green chili– Few finely chopped green chilies can be used as per the spiciness desired. I have skipped here.
6. Yogurt – Always prefer to pick the fresh curd / yogurt (do check how to make curd easily at home). Else there will be a sour tatse in the toast. This helps to bind all the ingredients easily.
7. Salt– add as per the taste. 
8. Oil– I have picked oil here to toast the bread slices. Butter or even ghee can be opted.
9. Water– This is optional. Add very little if mixing everything results into a thick paste.

Making procedure of this rava toast :

First in a mixing bowl take semolina (sooji), curd, finely chopped onion, finely chopped bell pepper, finely chopped tomatoes, finely chopped coriander leaves, grated carrot and salt. Using a spoon everything is mixed to get a paste type texture. If the mixture looks too thick then 1-2 tbsp of water can be added. Everything is again mixed and the bowl is kept aside with a cover for 5-6 minutes. 

After that around 1 tbsp of this semolina mixture is spread over one side of a bread slice evenly using a spoon or butter knife. 

Meanwhile a tawa / griddle is heated and greased with oil. The bread slice is then placed on the tawa with the topping side down. Over low-medium heat it is allowed to cook till the toppings look slightly light brown in color. 

Then the bread slice is flipped and the other side is allowed to toasted till nicely crisp. The toasted rava toast is then transfer to a plate. 

Similarly with remaining sooji mixture and bread slices some more rava toasts are prepared. Depending upon the size of tawa and bread slice, 2-3 bread slices can be cooked at a time.

💡FEW TIPS TO MAKE PERFECT CRISPY RAVA TOAST :

• Do not keep the topping on bread slices for longer time before toasting. Put the semolina mixture on the bread slice and immediately toast it, else the bread will get soggy.
• Always keep the heat on low-medium, else the slices will burn instead of well toasted.
• Do not spread the semolina mixture too thick. Otherwise the toast will not turn crispy and also remain uncooked from the middle.
• Keep all the vegetables finely chopped so that these will stick to the bread slices easily.

Dietary note :

✔  Vegetarian

✔  Easy and quick

✔  Can be Vegan if prefer to use vegan yogurt

✔  Kids friendly

Serving suggestion :

The whole preocess is quite simple, easy and quick to make. These rava toasts are perfect to serve in the morning breakfast / evening tea time snack option. Using some ketchup / any chutneys like coriander chuteny / mint-coariander chutney these pair well. If some leftover breads are there, then this recipe is a nice choice to use those left over bread slices. 

For kids tiffin box, this fits really perfect. But do keep in mind to first cool the rava toasts and after that only pack in the tiffin box. If it is packed in the box in hot / warm stage, then it may turn soggy. This recipe is quite common at my place and we love to have this in the breakfast menu most time. When there is a hurry, then this surely comes as a rescue. Just mix everything, top the bread slices and toast over a tawa / griddle, Voila ! The delightful dish is ready to go 😉So do make this easy peasy semolina toast / rave toast / sooji toast and give a new addition in the breakfast / snack menu !
