This savoury TikTok Yoghurt Toast made Indian street food style is going to blow you mind! It comes together in 10 minutes and is a super quick! It tastes like having street food for breakfast, but super healthy!
This Yoghurt Toast (or initially custard toast?) has been trending on Tiktok for a long time. I didn’t give it much thought because its made with eggs and is sweet. But recently I dreamt about it being savoury and I love bringing my dreams to reality. I’m hoping I’m hoping I did the same for you. Where my savoury breakfast gang at?
This Yoghurt Toast is made with 3 simple ingredients: Vegan Greek yoghurt, Chickpea flour (with kala namak for eggy vibes) and spices.
It’s then added to bread (indented), topped with sliced jalapeños then baked in the oven (or air fried).
Ingredients and Substitutes to make Savoury Yoghurt Toast
Sliced bread, you can use any bread you have available: vegan white bread, whole wheat bread, sourdough, whole grain, etc. But remember: the softer the the better
Chickpea flour (and kala namak) replaces the egg to make it vegan
Vegan Greek yogurt (and lemon juice) I’ve used plain Soy Greek yogurt. You can use any type of plant based yoghurt!
Spices and Spice blends I used ground cumin, red chilli powder and chaat masala. Chaat masala is a tangy spice blend commonly used in indian street food recipes. You should be able to easily find it in indian stores. Sub with Sumac or amchur (dried mango) powder
Garnishes I topped it with jalapeños and chopped onions. I have listed a few ideas for toppings below
Suggestions for Toppings:
The toppings are endless and you can add your favorites or a mix of them too!
Make custard mixture In a small bowl, add the chickpea flour, kala namak/black salt (which imparts an eggy flavour), vegan greek yoghurt, lemon juice, ground cumin, red chilli powder and chaat masala. Whisk together to form a liquid yoghurt form.
Indent the bread: Using your fingers or the back of a spoon (forks tend to not work so well, in my opinion), press the centre of the bread indent and create a sort of well. Be careful not to cut through the bread! Add in the spicy yoghurt mixture into the indented area and top with the jalapeños, if using.
Time to cook: Preheat your oven to 180°C/350°F. Then place bread on a baking tray with a silicone baking sheet (or regular) and bake for about 8-12 minutes (depends on your oven). Check for doneness at the 8 minute mark.
How to make Yoghurt Toast in the Air fryer?
If you don’t have an oven, you can make it in the air fryer too (that’s how the recipe went viral initially)! It’s actually easier. Just air fry for 4_5 minutes until the centre seems set and the edges seem browned.
Tips and Tricks for Savoury Yoghurt Toast
Try to use soft bread and not one of the those hard rye breads as it will be difficult to make indents in them.
Make sure to whisk the yoghurt mixture well so that it resembles a thick melted ice cream texture. Make sure you de-clump the mixture. You don’t want raw chickpea flour bites! Yikes!
Be careful while cooking time, as this toast boy is sensitive and can go from beautiful golden brown to burnt black in not time. You want to look for a centre that is well set and caramelised on the sides and edges.
