Coconut milk cardamom French toast
Kerala-style bread pudding: slices of bread soaked in a mixture of beaten eggs, coconut milk, cardamom, and sesame seeds, then fried in butter.
Coconut milk is used here instead of cow’s milk: this simple, slightly salty bread, flavored with cardamom, can be made in just ten minutes for breakfast or an afternoon snack.
