Masala Toast Sandwich

By Harini
The local bakeries here in Chennai and Bangalore have few things common and absolutely delicious.Spicy buns,dil pasandh (coconut-tutti fruity bun),simple bread cake and this masala toast sandwich are a few to name.Those who have tasted this will surely know what I mean :)A very spicy onion-tomato mixture over stuffed in between two small bread slices and toasted slightly.This is completely different from chaat style sandwich and this sans any chutney.I would say if prepared with fresh ingredients in hygienic condition this is definitely a healthy food for kids and adults.In my version I also sneaked some carrots in filling and used whole wheat bread.
