Open Masala Toast
by Tarla Dalal

You would never have imagined that simple bread can be transformed into such a tongue-tickling delight! Buttered bread is layered with raw mango pickle and topped with a yummy mixture of potatoes, green peas and spice powders. This is then tava-cooked till crisp, and served with a garnish of onions and chaat masala.

The Open Masala Toast is a peppy delight with the unique flavour of achaar. It can be served as an evening snack with tea, but it is so satiating that you can also have it for breakfast .

Place 5 bread roundels on a clean, dry surface. Apply ¼ tsp of crushed mango pickle evenly over each bread roundel.
Spread a portion of the topping over each roundel and press it lightly.
Heat a non-stick tava (griddle) and grease it with butter.
Place all the 5 open toasts on the tava (griddle) with the open side facing downwards and cook on a medium flame, using a little butter, till they turn golden brown in colour from both the sides.
Repeat steps 3 to 6 to make 5 more toasts in one more batch.
Serve immediately garnished with little onions and chaat masala over each open toast.
