Blogging Marathon# 49: Week 2/ Day 1 Theme: Cooking for 1 Dish: Masala Toast Being a South Indian, eating bread for a meal used to be a blasphemy some decade years ago. But then things and my thoughts changed when I came to the States and it was then I realized anything that fills your stomach can be eaten at any time of the day.

Ingredients

• 3 bread ((I used whole wheat homemade bread) slices)
• 1 onion (- small, finely chopped)
• cup almond meal (Mixed Vegetables - finely chopped (I conveniently used frozen mixed veggies))
• 1 tomato (- small, finely chopped)
• 1 ~ 2 Chilies (Green - finely minced)
• cup almond meal (Red - (optional))
• cup almond meal
• cup almond meal
• 2 tbsp cheese (- , grated)
• butter (- as needed)
• to taste Salt

Method

1. Heat 2tsp oil in a small saute pan, add the onions and green chilies and saute till onions are transparent.
2. Next add the mixed veggies and cook covered till done.
3. Stir in the chopped tomatoes, turmeric, red chili powder and salt. Cook till tomatoes get mushy.
4. Finally add the garam masala, mix well and turn off the heat.
5. Preheat the broiler and line a baking sheet with foil.
6. To make the Masala Toast: Butter the bread on both sides. Spread about 2tbsp of the masala on  the bread and place it on the baking sheet. Repeat with the other bread slices. Sprinkle with some grated cheese, if desired.
7. Broil for 1~3 minutes, watching into the oven like a hawk to avoid burning the toast. Broil till the bread is toasted well and is crispy. Serve immediately.
