Cheese Masala Toast Sandwich

Think about all the masaledar things you know – and you will find them in this sandwich. The Cheese Masala Toast Sandwich, which is the most popular cheese sandwich sold on the streets of Mumbai, is what one would call ‘fully loaded’!
It’s got cheese, veggies, chutneys and a flavourful potato stuffing. When cooked on a sandwich toaster, the aroma is so appetizing that one just cannot resist a bite! If you do not have a sandwich toaster, no worries, you can always cook this up in a griller or tava, it tastes just as awesome. You can enjoy this tongue-tickling and filling sandwich any time you are hungry. It is a good lot of fun to bite into this sandwich huddled under an umbrella on a rainy monsoon day!

Preparation Time: 20 minutes.

For the stuffing
1 tbsp oil
½ tsp cumin seeds (jeera)
½ tsp mustard seeds (rai / sarson)
¼ tsp asafoetida (hing)

2 cups boiled and mashed potatoes
1 tsp green chilli paste
½ tsp ginger (adrak) paste

1¼ tsp sandwich masala
1¼ cups grated processed cheese

For topping

For the stuffing

5. Sprinkle ¼ cup of cheese evenly over it.
6. Cover it with another slice of bread, with the buttered-chutney side facing downwards and press it lightly. Spread ¼ tsp of butter evenly over it.
