Iyengar Bakery Style Masala Toast

Iyengar bakery style masala toast step-by-step recipe with photos.

About this recipe

These spicy toasts or open sandwiches are an absolute delight. Anyone who has lived in Bangalore knows what I mean when I say Iyengar bakery style - khara buns, veg puffs, palya buns, khara biscuit, cream roll, fruit cakes... Oh, the delicious goodies that come out from these little stores...

To make masala toast, I saute onion and veggies together. I then mix them with chilli powder, chaat masala, and tomato sauce. I toast the bread on a tawa with butter and spread the cooled veggie mixture. That’s it! Simple and loaded with veggies. You may use white, multi-grain, or whole wheat bread depending on your preference. I like it with white bread though. You may add finely chopped green chilli for a more spicy sandwich. But I skip it so that it suits my DD’s taste buds.

Easy to make, they are ready in less than 15 minutes. Make them for weekday breakfast, a quick snack, or pack them for lunch boxes... Colourful, vibrant, healthy snack that everyone will love 🙂
