Bangalore Bakery Style Masala Toast | Evening Snack varieties

After Majjiga
Upma, another quick to make Tiffin is Bangalore Bakery Style Toast. It brings
back so many memories of wolfing down these delicacies while growing up.
Grandmom used to mention that bakeries thrive on people like us, who bought
regularly from them. But in the carefree days of growing up, all this advice
was thrown to the wind. I make these toast (as its known locally in Bangalore)
regularly for a evening snack, and its quite filling. Don’t miss on grilling
them a bit (or in the tava) for a crusty yet soft snack

Prep time :
20 mins | Cooking Time : 15 mins
