Pepper powder	½ tsp
Cinnamon powder	A pinch
sugar	1 tsp
Salt	1 tsp
Onion (chopped)	1
Green chili (chopped)	2
Oil for frying

 Method:

1. Cut bread slices diagonally to get  triangular pieces.
2. Beat 3 eggs in a bowl thoroughly. Add salt, sugar, pepper powder and cinnamon powder. Mix it well.
3. Add chopped onion and green chili. Mix it again.
4.  Heat oil in a pan. Dip bread pieces in the egg batter so that each slice bet coated well with batter with onion pieces and slowly drop in the oil and deep fry for a couple of minute until it becomes crispy and turns golden yellow in color on both sides. Take it out on a tissue paper in order to remove the excess oil from it.

          Serve hot with tomato sauce and your crispy and yummy bread toast is ready to eat.
