French toast is a family favorite, but when I added jaggery and cardamom to the mix, Jaggery & Cardamom French Toast became our new obsession. I’ll admit, I wasn’t sure how my kids would react to the twist, but my 14-year-old practically inhaled his portion. “Mom, this is like French toast, but BETTER,” he said between bites. I guess I’ll take that as a win! Of course, my toddler just wanted to pour syrup over everything, and the 7-year-old kept asking for just one more slice. But that’s the fun of it, right? Watching them enjoy something so simple, and knowing that I definitely nailed it this time.
