Ingredients

Equipment

• Non-stick frying pan or tawa
• Butter knife for spreading
• Chopping board and knife
• Spatula for flipping
• Mixing bowl (for veggies)
• Grater (if using cheese)
• Plate for serving

Instructions

1. Prep the veggies:

   Finely chop the onion, tomato, capsicum, and green chili. Chop the coriander leaves as well.

   Place all the chopped veggies in a mixing bowl.

2. Season the mixture:

   Add a pinch of salt and black pepper powder to the veggie mix. Toss everything together gently.

   If you’re using grated cheese, mix it in now for extra flavor.

3. Prepare the bread:

   Take bread slices and spread a generous layer of butter or vegan butter on one side of each slice. This will help them turn golden and crispy.

4. Add the topping:

   Spoon the veggie mixture evenly over the buttered side of each bread slice. Press lightly so the toppings stick.

   If you like extra cheese, sprinkle a little more on top.

5. Heat the pan:

   Place your non-stick frying pan or tawa on medium heat. Allow it to warm up for a minute.

6. Toast the bread:

   Gently place the prepared bread slices on the pan, topping side up. Cover the pan with a lid (this helps melt the cheese and cook the veggies slightly).

   Toast for 3-4 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.

   Tip: If your pan is big enough, toast multiple slices at once. Otherwise, do it in batches.

7. Optional – Toast the other side:

   If you want both sides crispy, carefully flip the bread and toast the other side for 1-2 minutes. Be gentle so the toppings don’t fall off.

8. Serve:

   Remove the bread toast from the pan and place on a plate. Garnish with extra coriander leaves or a pinch of chili flakes if desired.

   Slice and serve hot!

Tips & Variations

• Use different breads: Try sourdough, rye, or even gluten-free bread for a unique twist.
• Add more veggies: Grated carrots, sweet corn, or spinach make great additions. Just ensure veggies are chopped finely for even cooking.
• Spice it up: Sprinkle some red chili flakes, oregano, or chaat masala for extra flavor.
• Make it vegan: Use plant-based butter and skip cheese or use vegan cheese.
• Turn it into garlic toast: Rub a cut garlic clove on the bread before adding toppings for a delicious garlic flavor.
• Serve with dips: Pair your toast with Homemade Mint Chutney or Classic Tomato Ketchup for extra zing.
• Batch prep: Chop and mix the veggies ahead of time and store in the fridge for quick assembly.
• Try open-faced sandwich: Add a layer of mashed avocado under the veggies for a creamy, nutritious touch.

• “Don’t overload the bread with toppings—this keeps the toast crisp and easy to handle.”
