Masala Toast-Veg Masala Toast Sandwich

-
This is a very popular Mumbai Style Masala Sandwich with green chutney, potato filling and vegetables.

I make this often at home as it is not only delicious but also very simple and easy to prepare. It makes a filling and healthy breakfast.

   Ingredients needed

   Brown Bread or White bread - 8
   Butter as needed
   Green Chutney as needed

   For the Potato Filling

   Potato - 2
   Onion - 1 medium size
   Green chillies - 1-2 finely chopped
   Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
   Salt needed

   For the Seasoning

   Oil - 3 tsp
   Cumin seeds -1 tsp
   Curry leaves - 1 sprig

   For Garnishing

   Finely chopped coriander leaves- 1 tbsp

  For the Topping

   Onion slices
   Tomato slices
   Cucumber slices
   Chaat Masala - as needed


Preparation

First prepare the green chutney as given in the link below. Grind green chutney with very less water or else the bread will turn soggy.

Green Chutney Recipe

Then prepare the potato masala as given below

Method for the potato filling

Pressure cook potatoes until soft, peel the skin and mash it well but do not make it to a paste.

Heat oil in a pan, add cumin seeds, when it sizzles, add chopped onions, green chilli, curry leaves and saute until onions turn transparent.

Add potatoes, turmeric powder, salt needed. Mix well and cook for 5 minutes on low flame. Remove from heat and leave it to cool.


Method

Now we have bread, potato masala, green chutney, butter (I used homemade butter) vegetables and chaat masala powder ready (available ready made).

Trim the corners of the bread if required. I did not trim it. Apply butter on one side of the bread.

Then apply green chutney on the bread. Then spread potato masala on top of the green chutney.

Place 1 or 2 slices of cucumber, tomato, onion on top of the potato masala and sprinkle chaat masala powder on top of it.

Close it with another bread. Apply butter on top of that bread and toast the prepared sandwich.


Grease a little butter on the toaster, place the prepared sandwich and toast both sides until golden brown. If you do not have a toaster, you can do this on a tawa also by pressing it well.

Repeat the same process for the rest of the bread.


Serving suggestions

Cut diagonally and serve accompanied with a glass of fresh fruit juice to make a filling and healthy breakfast.

You do not need any side dish for this as it tastes delicious on its own. If needed you can have it with tomato ketchup.

It turns out that chocolate, especially dark chocolate, reduces body mass, prevents blood clots, improves numeracy, may prevent cancer, and doesn’t ruin your complexion. A new study suggests that eating chocolate can help you stay thin. Researchers at the University of California-San Diego found that people who frequently eat chocolate have lower body-mass indexes than people who don’t. Other evidence indicates that chocolate can also ward off strokes, heart attacks, and diabetes. 1. Chocolate decreases stroke risk A Swedish study found that eating more than 45 grams of chocolate per week—about two bars worth—led to a 20 percent decrease in stroke risk among women. Chocolate contains flavonoids, whose antioxidant properties help fight strokes, the study’s author, Susanna Larsson, told HealthDay. 2. Chocolate reduces the likelihood of a heart attack Other studies show that eating chocolate prevents blood clots, which in turn reduces the risk of heart attacks. Blood plat...
