Equipment

  • 1 cast iron gridle
  • 1 Spatula

Ingredients

For the filling

  • 1 tbsp peanut oil or any neutral flavored vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp mustard seeds
  • 1 tsp fennel seeds
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 tsp White urad dal
  • 1/2 tsp ginger minced
  • 10 curry leaves chopped
  • 2 green chilis chopped
  • 3/4 cup finely chopped onions
  • 1/2 tsp garlic paste
  • 1 tbsp ketchup
  • 3/4 tsp turmeric powder
  • 3/4 tsp red chili powder
  • 3/4 tsp ground coriander
  • Salt to taste
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped red bell peppers
  • 3/4 cup finely chopped tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped cilantro

For the toast

  • 10 slices whole wheat bread
  • 2 tbsp butter (divided) for toasting

Instructions

Making the filling

  • Heat a pan with oil. Add the whole spices (mustard seeds, fennel seeds, urad dal) along with minced ginger. Allow the spices to splutter.
  • Now, add the finely chopped onions and saute them till they are pink and soft.
  • At this stage, add all the ground spices and ketchup along with salt, mix well and cook on low flame for 30 seconds.
  • Tip in the shredded vegetables along with tomatoes. Add 2 tbsp water and mix well. Cook covered on medium flame till the mixture is completely mushy.
  • Once done, garnish with finely chopped cilantro leaves, mix gently and allow this to cool.

Assembling the toast

  • On each slice of bread, spread 1 to 1.5 tbsp of the prepared filling using a spoon.
  • Heat a cast iron pan with 1 tsp ghee or butter. Place the toast, filling side up on the pan.
  • Cook on medium heat until the bread is golden on the bottom. Using a sharp spatula, flip to toast the filling side. Cook the other side for 30 to 40 seconds. Remove from pan and serve hot.

Notes

  • When making the filling, ensure that the veggies are shredded finely. This helps in quick cooking.
  • The filling should be cooked to a complete mush. It should be spreadable.
  • Do not add more filling than mentioned here. 
  • While toasting the bread, the flame should be on low. 
  • To prevent sticking to the surface, use a well seasoned cast iron or iron pan to toast the bread. Smear the pan's surface with ghee or butter before toasting.
  • For that OG bakery taste, we have to toast the bread on both sides.
