Masala toast is an open toast with a masala topping made with vegetables like carrot, capsicum, onion and tomato and spices. It is very simple to prepare and a great option for the kids snack.
I have tried this once few years back, but somehow didn’t balance the taste, so turned out to be very bland with carrot’s boring smell dominating. After that I didn’t care to try. Yesterday, when I was browsing Instagram, I happened to see this masala toast somehow and looked really tempting. So made me try instantly and it turned out really flavourful and delicious. Vj too loved it.
This masala toast is a famous snack from Iyengar bakery, which I have never tasted before from there. This has various version and very flexible, you can add your choice of vegetables too, like potato, peas, cabbage, beans, beetroot whichever your kid’s favorite. But I guess Iyengar bakery has carrot, onion, tomato as main ingredients. So if you have not tried this toast, or forgotten for a while, make it and enjoy, perfect for this cold weather with a cup of tea!

Hi I recently found that they add Dill leaves to the masala in addition to coriander. I was trying to figure out what was missing to bring that perfect authentic taste and finally found out.
