veg masala toast sandwich recipe with step by step photos. veg masala toast sandwich is another way i make sandwiches at home. these are more filling than the other plain toast sandwiches as there are veggies like potatoes, tomatoes, cucumber, capsicum and onions in these. the taste of spiced potatoes gels very nicely with the partly cooked sliced veggies.
this veg masala sandwich is very easy to make. you need to make the potato stuffing first. slice the veggies. spread some butter/olive oil and coriander chutney on the bread slices. stuff them with the potato and veggies and then toast them.
i have used my electric toast sandwich maker but you can also use hand held toaster to toast the sandwiches. alternatively you can grill the sandwiches or as a last option you can toast the bread slices on a griddle/tava with butter/olive oil.
the veg masala toast sandwich is served with green chutney and tomato sauce. this is a good tea time snack as well as nice filling brunch.
i use butter instead of olive oil in sandwiches and it tastes good even with the indian spices and stuffing in the sandwich.

hi Dassana! i’ve made the masala toast recipe a number of times.sometimes i add a bit of ginger-garlic-green chilli paste when frying onions.thank you for sharing this tasty recipe.
thanks meveera. yes this way also can be done. it tastes good 🙂
Really nice recipe but I got to see pictures from other recipes in some of ur posts…please check
sumedha, i did not understand what you are saying. you can write in a bit more detail.
hey.. very nice recipe.. 🙂
but can we use that removed edges of bread in some another way.. in order to reduce wastage..
please tell me..
with the edges, i make bread crumbs. i just run them in a mixer to get bread crumbs. then store the crumbs in fridge. when making patties or tikkis, you can coat them with the breadcrumbs and then fry. if the edges are not hard or dense, then you can keep them while making sandwiches.
Lovely dish really easy nyummy
thanks simran
