French toast with Cornflakes

 


Here is a twist to the normal French toast recipe. I know, I know, it sounds weird and it probably is. My brother said the same.

“Whaaaa? Why, just why?” were his exact words to be precise.

But the taste is worth trying for. You have this crunchy layer for this soft bread.

Here is what you will need:

1 egg

3 tablespoons of milk

Sugar to your liking

½ teaspoon of cinnamon powder

½ cup cornflakes

Butter

White sliced Bread

This will only take about 10 minutes of your time and it is a very filling breakfast.

Instructions:

  1. Take a bowl and crack in your egg.
  2. To your egg add in your 3 tablespoons of milk
  3. Add in your sugar to the mixture. Give it a good mix
  4. Pour in your cinnamon power there and give it another good mix.
  5. Crush up your cornflakes in a zip lock bag or just spread them out on a plate and crush them with the palm of your hands.
  6. Soak your bread into the egg mixture
  7. Set your pan on medium heat over the stove
  8. Put in a dab of butter there.
  9. Then take your soaked bread and press it onto the crushed cornflakes
  10. Sizzle it on the pan, lower the heat: the bottom part for about 45 seconds and then flip for about 15- 25 seconds. Check to make sure.
  11. Continue with the rest.

You can serve with fruits. It would make a delicious combination.

Rajamati

I think we’ve all heard the song of Rajamati growing up. It is so popular that many people in Nepal claim this is the only Newari song that they have heard. The song was written some 200 years back. The first few lines go like this, which I’m sure you must have heard of, unless you’ve been living under a rock: Rājamati kumati, jike wasā pirati Hāya bābā Rājamati-chā Rājamati mabila dhāsā Kāshi wane tela bubā Hayā biu Rājamati-chā. San dhāsā kuli kuli, mikhā dhāsā bālā bālā Sakumi yā mhyāy machā lā Khwā dhāsā tuyu khwā, khwālay niga tee du Tāhā Nani yā Rājamati-chā. It is said to be written by or rather from the perspective of a man who was infatuated and in awe of the beauty of Rajamati. He describes with great admiration: her hair, her eyes, her complexion and the little moles on her face. However it is unknown who the writer of this beautiful song is. The song rushed into popularity after it was played in England in 1850 when Prime Minister Jung Bahadur Rana vi...

The Leaving vs The Left Behind

  I still remember,  I was standing near the entrance looking out at the garden. I was at my best friend’s home and she had gone to get her ever famous chips chilly for me. I was to leave for Bangalore again, in a couple of days. While I waited, I looked out at the garden and this thought came into my head. “Who is it harder for? The one leaving or the ones left behind?” Is it going to be harder for me in a new place readjusting and exploring, or my best friend here, who will me miss me? Is it harder for a person to settle in a completely new place with a completely new lifestyle and have to find new people or for a person to see the same old places, the same old alleys and reminiscent the good times they had with their friend who are not around at the moment? It was a random thought that filled my mind a couple of minutes and then I got over it. Some time after resettling here in Bangalore, my best friend sent me a reel. The reel was about 2 close friends who used to lived ...

Most Asked Question

  Coming back home after one year has been a rollercoaster of emotions for me the past month. Getting to see everyone again, embracing family and friends, working on an office desk again, walking through same old alleys and of course, devouring delicious food that I so dearly missed. I am actually almost through the food list that I have been saving. But the people have been asking me the same question a lot: do you like it here in Nepal or in Bangalore? And the answer has always been the same for me: I like it wherever I am. Kathmandu is home, it is warm, and it is where family is. Bangalore is a different vibe and freedom and excitement. Kathmandu is a different fun and Bangalore is different fun, which is why I live in the moment and enjoy where I am. My mother always tells me: “ La wani tha nya wani ma” in Nepal Bhasa meaning “ the fish must go where the water goes”. The meaning while very basic is also very deep. If the fish does not flow with the water, it cannot survive. I...
