Description
Some times when you come across unique recipes with ingredients that you use in your kitchen nearly every day and go ” why on earth didn’t I think of this genius way to use these daily ingredients before ” . Well this is one such recipe that really shamed me off . I came across this idea through my fellow home chef mubeen sulthanas recipe . Gave it a try and it didn’t work out for me as I burnt the toast while shallow frying them and that was the end of this unique easy toast . But it was there in my mind always popping up every now and then alerting me that you still have this dish pending with out perfecting it . Last week had so much left overs in the refrigerator that I had to come up with a new versatile way to get it down every ones tummies at home as left overs are always considered as old food and no one is ready to eat it when on the table . The mighty sesame masala toast did spark up in mind and pressed for time i just went with my inner gut amusing the recipe . This time I made sure to bake the toast instead of shallow frying them not wanting to commit another flaw again and to come with a healthier version .served it with a bowl of hot soup for a filling dinner . The sesame in the toast added a crunchy bite bursting with flavours and was devoured in no time . Happy me with ticking another dish from my must try and the left overs treating all at home in a well deserved , healthy , eye appealing new way .
