Masala Toast

Delicious and mouth watering offering which comes to my mind the first thing I get bread.. This takes somewhat a little time to make, and will probably suit you when you have some free time. But certainly compensated for by its taste!

Prep Time : 20 mins

Coriander - 1 cup, roughly chopped
Coconut - 1/4 cup, grated
Garlic - 2-3 pods, roughly chopped
Green chillies - 4-5 or as per taste
Water - as required for grinding
Lemon juice - 1 tsp or as per taste ( optional )

For the Aloo Masala:

Potatoes - 1 cup , boiled and mashed
Ginger - 1/2 inch, roughly chopped
Green chilli - 2 or as per taste , roughly chopped
Cilantro - 1 tbsp , finely chopped
Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
Curry leaves - 5-6 leaves

Procedure :

Cut off the edges of the bread and keep aside.

Preparing the Green Chutney:

Grind all the ingredients under the "for the green chutney" section into a smooth paste.

Preparing the Aloo Masala:

Grind ginger and green chillies into a smooth paste.
In a small wok , heat oil . Once hot, add in the mustard seeds and let them splutter. Add in the curry leaves and saute for few seconds and add the mashed potatoes , turmeric, ginger- green chilli paste, coriander and salt and mix properly. Cook for 4-5 mins on medium flame and keep aside.

Assembling the Masala Toast:

Preheat the grill/ toaster.

Take two slices of bread and apply butter on one side of both the slices. Place one slice on a plate and spread green chutney generously on the side that was buttered and place 1-2 tbsp of aloo masala over the chutney . Top it with tomato , cucumber and onion slices and squeeze in some tomato ketchup. Complete it with the other slice of bread.

Place in toaster/ grill and cook till it turns golden brown. Repeat the same for more servings.

Best served when still warm and the bread slices are toasty and tasty!!
